Visa requirements for Swedish citizens

Visa requirements for Swedish citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Sweden.

As of 2024, Swedish citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 193 countries and territories, ranking the Swedish passport 2nd in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.^[1]

As a member state of the European Union, Swedish citizens enjoy freedom of movement within the European Economic Area (EEA). The Citizens' Rights Directive^[2] defines the right of free movement for citizens of the EEA. Through bilateral agreements freedom of movement is extended to Switzerland,^[3] and all EU and EFTA nationals are not only visa-exempt but are legally entitled to enter and reside in each other's countries.

In order to travel to another country, a Swedish citizen requires a passport, except within the Nordic Passport Union, where no identity card is formally required. A passport is also not required for holders of the Swedish national identity card for travel to European countries (except Belarus, Russia, Ukraine^[4] and United Kingdom), Dominica, French overseas territories, Georgia, Montserrat and Tunisia.
