I’ve been accepted to studies for higher education in Sweden. What kind of permit do I need?

If you are going to study in Sweden for longer than three months, you must have a residence permit. Your application should be finalised before entering Sweden. If you will be studying for less than three months, you will instead need a visa unless you’re exempted from the visa requirement for entry into Sweden.

It is the Swedish Migration Agency that processes and decides upon your application for a residence permit for studies. For a full description of what rules apply, please visit their website.
