If you’re thinking about visiting Sweden in 2025, there are some important things you need to do before your trip. Applying for a Sweden Schengen visa takes careful planning, especially when it comes to money and documents.
To get a short-term visa, you must show that you can afford your stay. This means sharing your bank statement for the last six months to prove you have enough money and stable financial activity.
According to the 2025 rules, you need to show that you have at least 80 euros per day for your trip. So, for a 90-day stay, you’ll need to prove you have 7,200 euros (around PKR 2.4 million).
Visa applications are handled by the Swedish Embassy in Islamabad. The embassy also processes applications from Afghan citizens and people legally living in Pakistan.
Besides money, you’ll also need to provide these documents:
- A valid passport
- A filled visa application form
- Two recent passport-sized photos
- Travel insurance
- Proof of where you’ll stay in Sweden
- A confirmed round-trip flight booking
The Sweden Schengen visa usually lets you stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. The application process takes about 15 working days.
Experts suggest checking all your documents carefully before submitting them. With Sweden becoming a popular destination for Pakistani travelers, being well-prepared can help make your visa process smooth and easy.
