Do I need a visa for Sweden from Haiti?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. Haitian nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Sweden for tourism.
Sweden is a member of the Schengen area and applies the common visa policy. Because Haiti is on the list of countries whose nationals require a visa, Haitians must apply before travelling. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Travellers from Haiti have no exemption for Sweden and must obtain a Type C Schengen visa before departure. It covers tourism, visits to family or friends and short business trips, up to 90 days within any 180-day window.
How and where to apply
Since Sweden must be your main destination in the Schengen area, you apply to the Swedish mission responsible for Haiti. Because Sweden does not always have a consulate locally, it may be represented by another Schengen country's embassy or process files through a partner centre (VFS Global); check swedenabroad.se to find the mission that covers you before booking an appointment.
Documents and fees
Gather a valid passport with at least two blank pages, the signed application form, a compliant photo, proof of accommodation, evidence of funds, a return ticket and travel medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000. The visa fee is generally EUR 90 for an adult; confirm the amount and any service charge when you apply.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, and can take longer when the file is handled through a representing mission. Plan ahead, apply up to six months before departure and at least three weeks in advance, and do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from ignoring the main-destination rule, from missing or insufficient insurance, from weak proof of funds, and from not knowing which mission is competent. Always check the current information on swedenabroad.se before submitting your file.
