Visa for Sweden from Uzbekistan: price, documents and processing time 2026

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.

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.

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.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Sweden is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Sweden has no consulate in Uzbekistan, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Uzbekistan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Uzbekistan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

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.

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.
