Sweden Visa Cost Calculator

Most leisure travellers need only Sweden's single-entry tourist visa — the $80 baseline everything else is measured against. The multi-entry tier buys repetition rather than duration: $120 covers repeated entries into Sweden within the visa's validity window. Work-adjacent travel — meetings, contract negotiation, site visits — falls under the business visa, priced at $200 for Sweden and documented with a host letter.

If Sweden is merely between you and somewhere else, the transit visa at $24 prices the shortest lawful stay on the books. Whichever channel processes your Sweden application, the multiplier math above holds — only the payment logistics change.

Four inputs drive a Sweden application: a passport valid six months beyond your stay, one compliant photo, proof of accommodation, and evidence you can fund the trip. Sweden collects applications through its eVisa portal or the consulate covering your residence — pick one channel and follow it through; duplicates slow everything down. Budget the fee in USD as this calculator does, then expect the actual charge in SEK at the day's rate — a swing of a few dollars either way.

No interview is needed for most tourist applications to Sweden — the file speaks for itself unless something in it is missing. Apply as soon as flights are provable — Sweden issues decisions against documents, and a complete early file is the cheapest insurance there is.

Start with the passport: Sweden wants six months of validity left and two blank pages, and will reject against either. Photos fail applications quietly: print two spares, keep the digital originals, and use a likeness from the last six months for Sweden's file. Three months of statements demonstrating $50–100 per day is the funds benchmark for Sweden; scrub nothing, redact nothing.

Round the file out with your flight itinerary and Sweden lodging confirmations that match your dates exactly — mismatches draw queries. Whatever the category, one extra document defines it for Sweden: invitation letter (business) or onward ticket (transit).

The standard Sweden decision typically lands within 5–15 business days, and seasonal backlogs push it to the top of that band. The express lane at Sweden costs half the base fee extra and returns decisions in 1–3 business days. Incomplete files, not bad histories, cause the bulk of Sweden rejections — one missing night of lodging is enough.

Reapplication after a Sweden refusal is routine once the stated reason is addressed; decision letters name the defect explicitly. With no walk-in option, timing is everything for Sweden: file early, because the express surcharge is the only lever once you are inside three weeks.
