We advise all students who have been accepted by a Swedish University to apply for your visas as early as possible. There is a congestion of student visa applications each year prior to the autumn semester. You should be aware of the fact that the visa decisions - which are taken by the Swedish Migration Authority in Sweden, not the Embassy - can take time.
Due to staffing restrictions during the months of July and August the Embassy has limitations on accepting interviews (for more details about restrictions during this period see special box on the Embassy's Home Page).Thus if you wish to arrive in time for the start of the Academic Year, please apply as early as you can for your student visa or residence permit.
