Working Holiday Visa

You must be 18–30 years of age when you apply. The main purpose of your stay in Sweden should be the holiday.

You can obtain a visa for up to one year. You can only receive a working holiday visa once.

You can apply for a working holiday visa at a Swedish embassy or consulate in your native country or the country in which you are presently residing.

You should turn in your application at least six weeks before you plan to enter Sweden.

The visa should be completed and entered into your passport before you leave for Sweden.

The application fee is the equivalent of 1 000 SEK when you apply. If your application is denied, the fee will not be refunded.

You may work in order to supplement your traveling funds while in Sweden. For that reason, you will be given a work permit. Your job must be temporary in nature. You can apply for work once you have entered Sweden.
