Do I need a visa for Sweden from Mongolia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mongolian passport holders must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling to Sweden for tourism. The adult fee is usually €90, with processing typically taking 15–45 days.
Mongolia is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, so a tourist trip to Sweden requires a Type C visa issued before you depart. Because Sweden is your main destination, the file falls to the Swedish authorities. Plan several weeks ahead.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Mongolian travellers are not visa-exempt for the Schengen Area and must obtain a Type C tourist visa for Sweden. It allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Sweden must be your main destination or first point of entry for the application to fall to its services.
How and where to apply
Sweden does not always have a mission in Ulaanbaatar and may be represented by another Schengen country or outsource intake to an authorised partner (VFS Global). Check swedenabroad.se to see which mission or centre is competent for Mongolia. You book an appointment, complete the application form, then attend in person to give biometrics.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure with two blank pages, the signed form, a recent compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket, evidence of sufficient funds and an itinerary. The fee is usually €90 for an adult; confirm the exact amount on the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing most often takes 15–45 days. You may apply up to six months ahead and no later than 15 working days before departure. If your file must be forwarded to a regional Swedish mission or to Stockholm, allow extra time — submit early and provide a complete, consistent file.
Common mistakes
Frequent pitfalls: approaching the wrong competent mission for Mongolia, buying insurance below €30,000 or with gaps, presenting a passport with insufficient validity, or naming Sweden as the destination when you spend more time in another Schengen country. Weak proof of funds is a common cause of refusal.
