Embassy of Sweden

Due to COVID-19, the Embassy is implementing a number of actions to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus and to ensure the health and safety of our colleagues and our community. We follow the guidelines and recommendations from local authorities. The plan is to gradually open as the District of Columbia Government moves into the different phases of reopening. Phase One (out of three) began on May 29.

Therefore, the Embassy is only offering limited consular services at the moment. Only extremely urgent passport and visa applications are considered. Appointments have to be scheduled via e-mail: ambassaden.washington-visum@gov.se. 

If you urgently need to visit the embassy, please e-mail ambassaden.washington@gov.se and we will contact you as soon as possible.

Phone hours are: Monday-Friday 10 am - 2 pm. 
We receive many calls during our phone hours, please try again soon if you can't get through.

All visa questions are answered via ambassaden.washington-visum@gov.se only at the moment.

In case of an emergency outside regular office hours, call the Embassy and follow the instructions.
