Svezia: cosa sapere prima di partire

L’essenziale

  • Many businesses are cashless; carry a chip-and-PIN bank card.
  • Northern and southern Sweden have very different winter conditions.

Ingresso e visti

Sweden follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.

Validità del passaporto: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.

Alla frontiera possono chiedere

  • Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
