Visas to Sweden

From the 28th of April 2014, Moldovan citizens with biometric passports can travel to the Schengen area, which includes Sweden, without a visa and stay for 90 days within a 180-day period.

Moldovan citizens with older passport (non-biometric) should contact the EU Common Visa Application Centre, administered by the Embassy of Hungary in Moldova. The Center issues visas for citizens of Moldova wishing to travel to Sweden or to Denmark, Norway, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden, Luxemburg, Estonia, Finland, Belgium, Greece, Slovakia, Switzerland, Netherlands, Latvia, and Hungary.

Residents of Moldova have until now been referred to the Embassy in Bucharest for applications for residence and work permit. Since Romania now is a part of the Schengen area the Embassy in Bucharest have been exempted from handling migration matters. Applicants residing within the Embassy of Bucharest´s consular jurisdiction is from now instead referred to one of the five so called Schengen hubs that handles all migration matters within the Schengen area.

The Schengen hubs are the following Swedish Embassies:

Athens

Berlin

Madrid

Paris

Rome

This means that if you want to apply for residence or work permit you can choose which of these five Missions you want to handle your application. It also means you can no longer turn to the Embassy in Bucharest for migration matters. Please note that this only applies to applications for residence and work permit. There will be no changes with regards to applications for Schengen visas.

To book an appointment or to contact the Embassy for other questions you can find contact information on swedenabroad.se.
