Applications for Schengen visas for Sweden for residents of New Zealand, are handled by the Netherlands.
In some countries, Sweden is represented by another Schengen State for the processing of Schengen visa applications. These arrangements are governed by Schengen visa representation agreements, under which the representing Schengen State is responsible for the entire process from receiving applications to making decisions, and may choose to use the services of an external service provider.
Under the Schengen visa representation agreement in New Zealand, Sweden is represented by the Netherlands. Applications for Schengen visas for Sweden for residents of New Zealand are received through the external service provider VFS Global, and are processed by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Wellington, on behalf of Sweden.
