Do I need a visa for Sweden from Dominican Republic?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Dominican Republic citizens must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for tourist travel to Sweden. No visa-exemption scheme applies to a Dominican passport.
Sweden belongs to the Schengen area and the Dominican Republic is not among the visa-exempt nationalities, so Dominican travellers must apply for a visa before departure. Once issued, it allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen zone.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Dominican Republic nationals require a Schengen Type C visa to visit Sweden. You must apply to Sweden when it is your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area; if another country is your primary destination, apply there instead.
How and where to apply
Dominican applicants lodge their file at the Swedish embassy or consulate responsible for the Dominican Republic, or with the designated outsourcing partner (often VFS Global), frequently through a regional mission. You book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form and attend in person for biometrics. Confirm the exact lodging point on swedenabroad.se.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure and issued within the last ten years, the signed form, two biometric photos, confirmed accommodation and round-trip flights, proof of sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance of at least €30,000. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult, excluding the outsourcing partner's service charge. Verify the exact amount when you lodge.
Processing and tips
Processing generally takes 15 to 45 days, and longer during busy periods. Lodge no earlier than six months and no later than 15 days before travel. A clear file showing a precise itinerary, strong ties to the Dominican Republic and adequate finances supports a swift decision.
Common mistakes
The most common mistakes are missing or inadequate travel insurance, weak proof of funds, applying to the wrong country under the main-destination rule, and a passport that fails the three-month residual validity requirement. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
