Besöka Sverige / Visit Sweden

Tourist Visa

When applying for a tourist visa for Sweden, you must submit all of the following documents:

Please note that all documents are required at the same time, or your application will not be accepted.

  • Application for Schengen Visa,
    completed, signed and dated

  • Appendix: Family details Appendix to your application

  • Passport or other travel document, valid for at least a further three months after the end of the trip

  • Two [2] photographs of passport style and size [35 x 45 mm] for all applicants, including minors. Your photograph must be:
    – colour photo
    – recent and of true likeness
    – showing full face and neutral expression
    – taken without headgear
    – head coverings and hats are only acceptable due to religious beliefs, and even then, may not cover any portion of the applicant's face
    – taken against a plain, evenly lit and white background

    Photographs that do not conform to these standards will be rejected and may cause delay in processing the application.

  • Proof of purpose of the visit, evidence of accommodation, e.g. confirmed hotel reservation or confirmation of organised tour

  • Evidence of occupation/student status

  • Evidence that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay

  • A valid, personal travel insurance which covers costs for
    – emergency treatment by a doctor
    – urgent ambulance transportation
    – transportation/repatriation back to applicant's home country if required.

    The insurance must cover at least 30,000 Euro and be valid in all Schengen states and cover the total length of stay.

    The Embassy will normally add an additional 15 days to the period of validity of your visa (note that this does not entitle you to an additional 15 days in the Schengen-area). This period is meant to accommodate unplanned and unforeseen postponement of your departure from India. It is important to note that the medical travel insurance still must cover all your days in the Schengen-area, including the days of travel. Therefore it is recommended that your insurance should state the number of days covered from the start of your journey, not specific dates.

  • Parental consent is required for minors travelling alone or with relatives.

Your entry visa must be entered in your passport before your arrival in Sweden.
