Visiting Sweden

If you would like to visit Sweden and are a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina you do not need a visa. The visa-free entry into the Schengen area requires that you have a biometric passport. The visa free regime does not allow for living or working in the EU. For long-term studies, longer than 90 days, a residence permit is also required. Citizens of other countries outside the EU/EEA with a residence permit in Bosnia and Herzegovina can apply for a Schengen visa to visit Sweden. You apply to the country in the Schengen area that is the main destination.

Visa free regime for citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The visa free travel allows you to spend up to 90 days in the Schengen area every 6 months. The six-month periods are counted from the first entry into the Schengen area. For example, if your first entry was February 1, then you can spend a total of 90 days in the Schengen countries for the next 6 months, until July 31st.

You can use these 90 days during one visit or within multiple trips, but it is
important to take into account the number of days you spent in the Schengen countries. After 90 days spent, you must leave the Schengen area until the 6 months after your first entry expire. Then the next six month cycle begins for you, where you can spend 90 days in the Schengen countries again. Click on the following link in order to calculate the travel days remaining.
