Persons of certain nationalities require Schengen visas to visit Schengen countries. Depending on where you live, certain entry requirements may need to be met before visiting Sweden—or if your visit is for 90 days or less, you may only need a valid passport. As the visa application process can be lengthy, we recommend starting three to four months before your travel date.

Tips for successful visa applications:
- Apply early! Apply at least three to four months before your planned departure date.
- Complete your application fully and accurately.
- Provide evidence that you intend to return to your country of residence, and/or binding or sufficient ties to your home country or permanent residence abroad.
- Provide proof of professional scientific and/or educational status, ECS membership, and meeting registration.
- If the application center requires an in-person interview, dress professionally, and prepare ahead for your interview so you can describe your reasons for visiting the United States clearly and concisely.
