Can I apply for protection and asylum outside Sweden?

The Embassy would like to point out that it is not possible to apply for asylum at any Swedish Mission Abroad and that such application instead should be submitted directly to the Migration Agency in Sweden or to the Swedish Border Police when entering the country. 

Individuals who are not able to apply for asylum from within Sweden are generally advised to contact the UNHCR or the relevant authorities in their country of residence.

For more information about protection/asylum in Sweden please visit the Swedish Migration Agency website in the link below:
