Visa applicants are reminded not to apply for a Schengen visa through the Swedish Consulate if the main purpose for the trip is to travel elsewhere than Sweden. If the Consulate suspects that the purpose of the trip is not in accordance with the information stated in the application, it will be dismissed/refused.
An issued visa does not automatically mean you can enter the Schengen area. Entry checks are made at external border points to make sure that the travel plans are in accordance with what was submitted in the application. Border controls may result in you being denied entry and a decision to revoke your visa will be stored in the Schengen Visa Information System (VIS) which can affect your future applications, also to other Schengen states.
All applicants are strongly advised to not deal with any agents (except for agents certified to handle so called ADS groups). The Consulate only cooperates with VFS Global. The Consulate has nothing to do with sellers outside the premises of the Consulate or the VFS Global office, or other agencies or persons approaching applicants in order to offer services. No agencies can influence the processing time or the decision in any way. Many agents also charge unreasonably high fees for services which are unnecessary. Some agents are known to fabricate information and documentation. The use of such visa agents may compromise the overall credibility of an application.
Also note that you are personally responsible for all information and documents that are submitted with your signed application, even if an agent has filled in the form.
