About the Consulate General

Sweden established a Honorary Consulate General in Jerusalem 1903. Thus, in the year 2003, the Consulate celebrated its 100 years jubilee.

Swedish official presence in Jerusalem has been unbroken since that date. In 1991 the Consulate General became a career consulate with diplomatic personnel from Sweden.Today, its consular district covers Jerusalem, as well as the West Bank and Gaza strip.

The Consulate General gives consular service to Swedish citizens in the consular district (a total of about 550, of whom 400 in Jerusalem). The Consulate General issues visas, work- and residence permits for non-Swedish citizens.

The Consulate General also follows and reports about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process through contacts with the Palestinian Authority.

The Consulate General is responsible for on-the-ground management of Swedish aid and economic and social development cooperation programme initiated in 1994 as part of an international effort to support the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.
