To study in Sweden, non-EU/EEA students must apply for a residence permit for studies. Start by securing admission to a Swedish university, as an acceptance letter is required. Complete the online application on the Swedish Migration Agency website, pay the fee, and submit supporting documents, including proof of financial means (SEK 8,514/month for 10 months) and comprehensive health insurance.
Schedule an interview at a Swedish embassy or consulate if required. Processing times vary, so apply at least three months before your program starts. Once approved, you’ll receive a residence permit card upon arrival in Sweden.
