Visa to Sweden

As of March 25th, 2001, Sweden became an operative member of the Schengen agreement. Therefore, in order to apply for visa, the applicant should have an invitation from a reference person in Sweden. The application with a list of required documents can be obtained at the reception. Each case is dealt with individually and there is a processing period of 14-21 days. All Arabic documents should be translated into English. There is a non-refundable fee for each application.    

Residence and work permit

Applicants with a close family/economic relationship with a reference person in Sweden (spouse, partner, unmarried children under the age of 18) can apply for a residence permit. The application with a list of required documents can be obtained at the reception. All Arabic documents should be translated into English. There is a fee for each application (with a few exceptions).

After presenting all required documents, an appointment for an interview, which will be conducted at the Embassy, will be made with a waiting period of 2-3 months.

There is a fee for residence permits in Sweden (with a few exceptions).

Travel Advice

For advice on which countries the Ministry for Foreign Affairs recommends you do not visit at present, please see website www.utrikes.regeringen.se 

The prevailing situation in the region remains unstable and unpredictable, and events can lead to a rapid increase in tension. When in Jordan, it is therefore important to follow the news, both in local and international media, very carefully.

Visitors should avoid demonstrations and be careful when going to places where large crowds are gathering, for example refugee camps, mosques, university campuses and certain embassies, etc. Extra care should also be taken when visiting downtown areas of Amman.
