Validity period of the Sweden tourist visa
The maximum validity of the Sweden (Schengen) tourist visa is 3 months, equal to 90 days within a 6-month period. Of course, those who have travelled repeatedly to Sweden or other Schengen countries such as Germany, Greece, Spain, Austria, etc. can obtain a Schengen visa for a longer period after each trip.
Extending the Sweden tourist visa
Given the principle that the Sweden (Schengen) tourist visa is issued for a maximum of 90 days in six months of the year, extending the visa is nevertheless not impossible, provided you have strong reasons for extending the period (such as a medical operation or an incomplete course of treatment). In reality, however, an extension is very unlikely and requires strong and convincing reasons.
Usually, processing of your visa extension application by the relevant authorities may take from a few days to a month. During this period, you are allowed to stay in the country where you submitted your application, even after your visa expires, but you must not travel to other Schengen countries.
If you are granted the visa, you can stay there, whereas if this does not happen, you have one or two days to leave Sweden.
The extension fee for the Sweden (Schengen) tourist visa differs from the regular fee of the Schengen visa you apply for before travelling to the Schengen area. Depending on the reasons for your application to extend the short-stay Schengen visa, and on whether it is your first or second requested extension, you may or may not have to pay a fee.
Documents required to submit a visa extension application
- Passport
- Application form
- One photo
- Proof of income
- Travel health insurance
- Documents that present your reasons for needing a visa extension.
Reasons for refusal of the Sweden tourist visa

- An invalid passport
- An invalid invitation letter
- Age (some embassies refuse applications from people under thirty because they are not confident they will return.)
