What you need to know before leaving

Despite high global mobility, Swedish citizens face specific rules and restrictions that must be taken into account when traveling.

• The European Union and the Schengen area – the right to unlimited movement with a national ID card.
• The United States – the ESTA program allows a stay of up to 90 days per visit with multiple entries within 2 years.
• Japan, South Korea, Singapore – a visa-free regime for 90 days for tourism and business trips.
• The United Kingdom – up to 6 months without a visa with return tickets and proof of financial capacity.
• Canada – a visa-free regime for 6 months for tourists.

For travel, special attention should be paid to the new electronic systems ETIAS and ETA, which tighten the formalities for entry into the EU and the UK.
