Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding Sweden Family Visa application requirements.

Do I need translations to Swedish?

keyboard_arrow_down
No, not if the document is originally in English. Migrationsverket and Swedish consulates fully accept documents in Swedish or English. Certified translation is only required for documents in other languages.

Do Swedish consulates require Apostille on all certificates?

keyboard_arrow_down
Yes. All certificates must be legalized with a Hague Apostille in your country of origin before they can be translated and submitted for your visa.

What is the maintenance requirement for Swedish family visas?

keyboard_arrow_down
The sponsor residing in Sweden must prove they have sufficient income to cover housing costs and living expenses for the entire family. They must also have a home of adequate size (at least kitchen + 1 room for couples without children).
