If Sweden is on your study-abroad radar, you’re already making a smart choice. It’s clean, student-friendly, and offers top-notch universities. We’ve seen more and more Indian students choosing Sweden lately — and we’re not surprised!
Now, before you start dreaming about fika breaks and snow-covered streets, let’s talk about something important: the student visa fee.
So, how much does the Sweden student visa cost in 2025?
As of now, the visa application fee for Sweden is SEK 1,500 — that’s Swedish Krona. In Indian currency, it usually comes to around ₹11,000 to ₹13,000, depending on how the exchange rate behaves.
You’ll need to pay this amount online when you apply on the Swedish Migration Agency’s website. It’s a one-time payment and, just so you know — it’s non-refundable.
A quick heads-up:
-
Make sure you have an international debit or credit card to make the payment.
-
If you’re visiting VFS Global for biometrics or document submission, there might be extra service charges (usually a couple of thousand rupees).
What do you need for the visa?
Here’s a simplified list — the same one we use when guiding our students at Golden Future:
-
Valid passport
-
Admission letter from your Swedish university
-
Proof of funds (about SEK 10,314/month of stay)
-
Tuition payment receipt (if applicable)
-
Health insurance (if you’re staying under 12 months)
-
Your SOP (Statement of Purpose)
-
A couple of passport photos
That SOP? It matters a lot. Don’t underestimate it. We’ve seen great applications fail because the SOP didn’t tell a convincing story.
How long does it take Sweden Student Visa?
Most students get a decision in 2 to 3 months, but it can vary. Apply as soon as your admission letter arrives — no need to wait.
What could go wrong for Sweden Student Visa?
Honestly, the visa process isn’t hard — but some students do face rejections. The most common reasons include:
-
A copied or weak SOP
-
Unclear financial documents
-
Choosing a course that doesn’t match your academic history
-
Leaving out important paperwork
We had a student from Pune last year — her application was solid, but she forgot to attach proof of insurance. That one slip delayed everything. Small mistakes matter.
