Business/Conference Visa

For a business or conference visit, you are required to enclose an invitation – a letter – with your visa application from the company concerned or from whoever is organizing the conference. The invitation must contain details about you, the applicant, such as:

• personal particulars
• arrival and departure dates
• the purpose of your visit
• who will support you during your stay in Sweden

A pre-printed form is found to the right, Questionnaire for applicants, Appendix A. It is also available at the Embassy or Consulate.

• A passport or other travel document, including copy, valid for at least a further three months after departing from Sweden.
  
  
• A completed application form, in Swedish or English. Application forms for a Schengen visa may be downloaded to the right. They are also available at the Embassy/ Consulate
  
  
• Appendix: Family details Appendix to your application
  
  
• 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 with 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.
  
  
• 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 for minors travelling alone for sports tournaments.
