Questions about getting a visa to Sweden?

Algauza passed and scattered.

Application for a work permit:

It is not difficult to apply for a work visa, and many companies in Sweden do not care very much about whether they already have a work visa when they are hired, because as long as they get a proper work contract, they can generally apply for a work visa within one month. The decision to apply for a work permit and to approve the work application is first made by the Swedish Labour Service (AMS), after which the Migration Board makes a final decision based on the decision of the AMS.

The first step to apply for a work visa is from the Swedish Labor Bureau****A ** number AMSPF101704**, (you can bury the letter to Google this** is faster than looking for it on AMS, I didn't find it on **, hehe), there is only one page, please ask the company to help fill in this ** or fill in the company's signature yourself. After that, send the completed ** to any office of AMS, and generally choose the one close to your company's address will be more efficient. Within about 1 week, AMS will investigate and verify the information on the employer company, if everything is true, AMS will send it back within two weeks, with AMS's decision attached, 3 possibilities:

Permanent Residence, Fixed-Term Visa, Visa. Generally speaking, if you get a permanent work contract, you can get a two-year visa when you first submit the visa to AMS, which is the second type. Recently, I have heard that some people only get it for one year, but this difference is not big, because if it is a permanent work contract, you can apply for a second change of put immediately after the expiration of the 6-month application period (more on the application part later), so it is not much different whether you get it for one year or two years for the first time.

It's rare to hear of a permanent work contract being signed.

After getting the decision of AMS, it is basically the same as getting a work visa, and the next step is to go to the immigration bureau to apply for a work visa from the immigration bureau in another form. The most convenient is the online application, to the immigration bureau**, click on the upper right corner, many people should be familiar with it, and the process of applying for a student visa and renewal is similar, the different bending wheel is to choose to prepare to work in Sweden at the beginning, and then fill in the information along the way, and the last key step is to attach the ams with the card with a decision**. Another personal experience is not to ignore the other file when submitting the attachment, and you can attach your company's work contract, degree certificate or something (you can put it in a pdf file) to avoid trouble later.

The last step is to wait, generally speaking, you should be able to get it in a month, and finally, go to the immigration office to get the visa.

Copies of application forms, passports or other travel documents, medical insurance, ID cards, household registers, marriage certificates, real estate, car property and other materials can be provided first, but the original documents must be brought on the day of face-to-face submission.

If you want to visit Sweden and you are a non-EU EEA citizen, you may need a visa. The visa allows you to enter Sweden for a short stay. This visa is valid for the entire Schengen area, but you should submit your application to the main destination country in your itinerary.

So what are the basic conditions of a Swedish visa? Visas can be issued for the following purposes: business participation, cultural or sporting events, visits to relatives and friends, travel.

You can submit your request up to three months before your scheduled trip. Please apply well in advance, especially during peak season. Usually you will know the decision within two weeks.

Schengen visas last from 1 to 90 days. You need to use these days for a given period (validity). The number of days you are allowed to stay in the Schengen area, and for what period, is indicated on the permit sticker and attached to your travel document.

Please note that the embassy will give you an additional 15-day validity for your visa, so you can be more flexible in the event that you have to postpone your trip. However, you will still only be allowed to stay in the Schengen area for the number of days indicated on the visa sticker. If you need to come to Sweden frequently, you can apply for a multiple-entry visa.

This type of visa is valid for up to 5 years. If your visa is valid for more than six months, you can stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days per six-month period. Having a visa does not necessarily mean that you will be able to enter the Schengen area.

Border control usually has an immigration check. Therefore, it is advisable to bring copies of all the documents you submit for your visa application. The results of border checks may result in you being denied entry.

It is the embassy or consulate that decides whether or not to issue you a visa. In some cases, the application is sent to the Swedish Migration Board for decision. For more information on applying for a visa, please visit the Swedish Migration Service**.

If you are visiting for more than 90 days, you should not apply for a Schengen visa if you know at the time of application that you will need to stay in Sweden for more than three months, but instead apply for a residence permit to visit family or a Swedish national visa, the so-called 'D visa'. This type of licensing is decided in accordance with the national legislation of Sweden. This means that visa facilitation agreements will not apply and decisions regarding visas cannot be appealed.

Applications for residence permits to visit relatives are generally sent to the Swedish Migration Board for decision. Therefore, the application time is longer than that of the D visa. If the application is approved, the residence permit is usually three to twelve months.

If approved for special reasons, you can obtain a Swedish national visa (D visa) for more than 90 days, but for a maximum of one year. This may be a special reason, for example, if you need to travel to Sweden several times in a given year to visit your children. A Swedish visa, like a residence permit, allows you to travel freely throughout the Schengen area.

During the validity period of your visa, you can decide how many times you want to enter the Schengen area. If you want to obtain a visitor residence permit or a visa to your home country, the purpose of your trip must be to visit Sweden and not to settle down. You must be able to afford your own expenses for the entire duration of your stay and must have a return ticket or sufficient return travel expenses.

Travel medical insurance is not mandatory, but it is recommended that you purchase it beforehand as medical expenses can be high.
