If you are a citizen/non-EU resident of Australia who wants to book an appointment to visit the Embassy of Sweden in Canberra in a matter concerning a residence permit/work permit for Sweden, please contact the Embassy’s migration section.

In a case where the main applicant is a minor (under 18 years of age), appointments must be booked by a parent/guardian, or a third party representative who has been given power of attorney in the case by a parent/guardian.
