- Final admission to full-time studies (30 higher-education credits per semester counts as full-time). Fee-paying students are only finally admitted once the tuition fee is paid.
- Proven means of support for the whole permit period (see the current amount in the self-support question).
- Comprehensive health insurance if your total stay is shorter than one year.
- A valid passport. Distance-only courses do not qualify.
- For permits granted on or after 11 June 2026, you must also register your address with Migrationsverket within 30 days and meet study-result thresholds to extend.
- The application fee is about SEK 1,500 for adults and SEK 750 for children — the fee can change, so check the current amount.
Requirements and amounts change, especially under the 2026 rules. Confirm the exact conditions for your programme and nationality with Migrationsverket before you apply.
