Visa and Finances (EU/EEA)

If you are from non-Nordic EU/EEA countries, then you need no visa or Residence Permit, but you need to register at the Swedish Migration Board (swe. Migrationsverket) before or within the first 3 months of stay, and you will need to show the same proof of finances.¹

Application for a Permit

• Form 140011
• Fee: none.
  There is no fee, as you can read on the “How much does it costs?” page.
• Valid ID card / passport
• Letter of Admission
• Proof of finances: minimum SEK 7300 per month, for 10 months a year, for each year of your studies²
• Health Insurance

You can register your “right to reside” and get a permit:

• by going in person to a local Migrationsverket permit unit close to you
• by mailing the documents to Migrationsverket, 601 70 Norrköping, Sweden
• by Internet using E-forms

Be aware that snail-mail or online registration needs a Swedish address. So basically you need a friend in Sweden to receive your certificate from Migrationsverket. If you don’t have one (yet ), then just hold your pants and wait to get there.

Proof of finances can also be one of the following two: letter from your Swedish partner (spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend who has a good bank history) or a letter from your parents. Both need to state that they will have you under care, so they practically vow that is something goes wrong they will manage the situation. The letter from your parents might need a bank statement on them, though.

Please read this PDF brochure entitled “Registration for EU/EEA citizens”!

Don’t forget to read the whole material from Migrationsverket’s website itself!

Nordic countries’ citizens need to do nothing.
