If you have recieved a visa

In order to avoid any problems or extra costs appearing when you travel to the Schengen area you are advised to check the following:

• Your passport has a passport number. This number is also indicated on the visa sticker. Make sure these numbers are the same.
• Check the validity time of the visa.
• Check that your name is spelled correctly.
• Check how many entries to the Schengen area you have been granted (1, 2 or Multiple entries).

If you think that the information on the visa is incorrect, contact the Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka directly so that any potential errors can be corrected. 

How to read the visa sticker

A visa is only valid for your stay in the Schengen countries for up to 90 days during a period of 180 days. The days can be used during the time period that is indicated on the sticker. 

A period of grace of 15 days are normally added to a Schengen visa which means that the duration of time will be 15 days longer than applied for BUT the visa is only valid for the number of days stated on the sticker.

Entering the Schengen area

An issued visa does not automatically mean you are allowed to enter the Schengen area. Entry checks are always made at the border point to make sure that the travel plans are in accordance with what was submitted in the application. A border control may result in you being denied entry. A decision to revoke the visa will be stored in the Schengen Visa Information System (VIS), this may affect your future visa applications, even to other Schengen states than the ones mentioned above.
