Do I need a visa for Sweden from Cambodia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cambodian nationals need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) for tourism in Sweden. The standard adult fee is around €90.
Sweden is part of the Schengen area, so Cambodian travellers must obtain a visa before departure. Because Sweden may not run a visa service in Cambodia, applications often go through the Swedish representation with jurisdiction over Cambodia (sometimes in Bangkok) or its visa centre.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Cambodian nationals require a visa to enter Sweden. For tourism of up to 90 days within any 180-day period you need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C). When Sweden is your sole or main destination, the application must be filed with the Swedish authorities.
How and where to apply
From Cambodia, apply at the Swedish representation with jurisdiction over the country or its external provider (for example VFS Global), which may sit in a neighbouring state. Book an appointment, complete the Schengen form and attend in person for biometrics. Sweden must be your main destination for the trip.
Documents & fees
Prepare a valid passport, compliant photos, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, an itinerary and evidence of funds. The adult visa fee is generally €90 (reduced for children). Confirm the exact amount and payment method with the competent representation or centre.
Processing & tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days. Apply no earlier than six months before travel and at least 15 days before. Plan for the appointment possibly taking place outside Cambodia, which adds logistical lead time.
Common mistakes
Avoid inadequate insurance, a passport close to expiry, or applying to the wrong Schengen state when Sweden is not your main destination. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
