Depending on where you come from, you may need to apply for a residence permit and/or an entry visa before you come to Sweden. If so, please make sure to apply as soon as you receive your Letter of Acceptance. In the information below you find information about requirements for the visa, depending on what citizenship you have. 

Please note that Örebro University cannot assist you in the visa/residence permit application process.

If you are a citizen of a member country in the European Union (EU), you do not need a visa to enter Sweden.

The Swedish Migration Agency's information for EU citizens

All students with citizenship in a country outside the European Union (EU) are required to obtain a residence permit before entering Sweden. Please read the information on The Swedish Migration Agency's website or get in touch with a Swedish Consulate/Embassy as soon as possible to get further information on what is required in order to obtain the residence permit. You will need the Letter of Acceptance when applying for the residence permit.

The Swedish Migration Agency's information for non-EU citizens

If you are a student with Swiss citizenship, you need to apply for a residence permit in Sweden if your stay exceeds three months.

The Swedish Migration Agency's information for Swiss citizens

From 1 November 2022, when you apply for a residence permit you may need to show your passport or national ID card at an in-person visit at a Swedish embassy or a consulate general before the Swedish Migration Agency can make a decision.

All incoming exchange students that are registered on courses at Örebro University are covered by the insurance Student IN, provided by the state authority Kammarkollegiet (Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency).
The insurance is limited and covers for example for necessary and reasonable costs for emergency medical care or dental care when the insured, during the policy term, suffers illness or has an accident.

EU/EEA students should primarily use the European Health Insurance Card issued in their home countries. It is very important that you read the terms and conditions carefully so you know what additional insurance you might need.

If you need to apply for a residence permit, your Letter of Acceptance is valid as a proof of the Student IN insurance.
