Pakistani citizens planning to visit Sweden in 2025 must fulfill specific financial and documentation requirements to obtain a short-term Schengen visa.
One of the most important criteria is providing a six-month bank statement to prove financial stability. Applicants are required to show they can cover at least 80 euros per day for the duration of their stay. For the maximum 90-day visit, this totals 7,200 euros, equivalent to roughly Rs2.4 million based on the current exchange rate of Rs328.4 per euro (as of June 19, 2025).
Sweden remains a popular European destination for tourism, family visits, and business travel, but Pakistani nationals must secure a visa in advance, unlike citizens of visa-exempt countries.
The Swedish Embassy in Islamabad processes Schengen visa applications for citizens and legal residents of Pakistan and Afghanistan. A complete application must include:
- A valid passport
- Completed visa application form
- Recent passport-sized photographs
- Proof of travel insurance
- Confirmed accommodation details
- A round-trip flight reservation
- A six-month bank statement showing sufficient funds
Visa processing typically takes up to 15 working days, and successful applicants are granted a stay of up to 90 days within 180 days.
Travel experts recommend double-checking all documents before submission to avoid delays or rejections. As Sweden continues to attract more visitors from Pakistan, meeting both financial and procedural requirements is key to a successful visa application.
