Warning about fraud

05 mar 2020

Information regarding fraud about visas, work permit and residence permit.

It has come to our attention that applicants in Kosovo have been contacted by sellers/agencies who claim that they can issue visas, residence permits, and work permits for Sweden. Important fact: Decisions in visa cases are only made by the Swedish Embassy in Skopje. Applications for residence permits are only handled by the Swedish Migration Agency.

The Swedish Embassy in Skopje cooperates with VFS Global in Pristina, Kosovo. Adress: Str. Rrustem Statovci No 36 in Pristina. The Swedish embassy has nothing to do with sellers and offices outside the premises of this VFS Global office. No sellers can influence either the processing period or the turnout of the decision.
