Entry Requirements for Sweden
Sweden does not require a tourist visa for stays of less than 90 days. You will need a passport valid for at least 90 days beyond your planned date of departure from Sweden, and Planet Depos strongly recommends traveling with a passport valid no less than 6 months post your departure date from Sweden. You need 2 blank passport pages for your entry stamp. There are no direct flights from the U.S. to Sweden, so you will need to check any country or countries you pass through to determine if a separate transit visa is required.

Winter nights are long due to Sweden’s latitude. Summers are pleasant, with low humidity and relatively lower temperatures. Summer days are longer, because of the high latitude.
