Sweden visit visa — frequently asked questions
How much funds should I show for Sweden?
There is no fixed rule, but your bank statements should clearly cover accommodation, food and transport for the full stay.
Can I visit Norway or Denmark?
Yes, those are Schengen states too, as long as Sweden is your main destination and you stay within the 90/180-day limit.
Do I need an invitation?
Only if you are visiting a host. Tourists need hotel bookings and an itinerary.
