Do I need a visa for Sweden from Uzbekistan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. Uzbek nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Sweden for tourism.
Sweden is part of the Schengen Area, and Uzbekistan does not benefit from a visa exemption. An Uzbek traveller therefore needs a Type C Schengen visa, valid for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Sweden must be your main destination or first point of entry into the Schengen Area.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As an Uzbek passport holder you cannot enter Sweden for tourism without a visa. The Type C Schengen visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period and lets you travel throughout the Schengen Area. If you visit several countries, Sweden must be your main destination for the application to be lodged there.
How and where to apply
Sweden often outsources visa submission; from Uzbekistan, apply to the competent Swedish embassy or its partner visa centre (VFS Global), which may cover Tashkent from a neighbouring country. Check the exact jurisdiction on swedenabroad.se before booking an appointment. The applicant must attend in person to give biometrics.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid at least three months beyond your planned departure, a completed Schengen form, a recent photo, hotel and return-flight bookings, and travel medical insurance of at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult, payable at submission. Include proof of sufficient financial means.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; submit as early as possible (up to six months ahead) and no later than fifteen days before departure. A consistent file — itinerary, bookings and funds all matching — speeds up the decision. Confirm current timelines and the submission point with the official source before booking.
Common mistakes
The most common error is applying through the wrong Schengen country when Sweden is the main destination, which leads to refusal. Also avoid insufficient insurance, a passport with too little validity, or unconfirmed bookings. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
