What Raahi used, when it was last refreshed, and what it cannot promise
Source data supports Raahi’s recommendations; it does not replace the destination’s immigration authority, airline or live booking provider.
Raahi presents visa and entry information for the Indian passport compiled from public datasets. This is general information for planning, not legal or immigration advice.
Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Requirements also depend on your specific situation — purpose of travel, length of stay, past travel history, and connecting/transit countries.
Before you book or travel, always confirmwith the destination country's official embassy, consulate, or immigration website, and with your airline. Raahi holds no responsibility for travel decisions made using this information.
Eligibility & documents
Apply through the official embassy / consulate of Sweden in India (or its authorised VFS Global centre).
⚠ Requirements, fees & processing times vary — always confirm on the official route, and beware lookalike agent sites.
Carrier names are a guide; check current tourist plans and coverage before you buy.
Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted, but your normal card adds ~3.5% forex markup plus ATM fees — a forex card avoids both. See Pay like home above for UPI/RuPay where it works.
Under RBI’s LRS you can carry forex within limits; large forex loads attract TCS — check current rules & rates before you buy.

Sweden will feel strikingly different from India in climate and pace of life, with long, dark winters and cool summers that take adjusting to, but the country is clean, well-organised, and easy to navigate for first-time visitors from India.
Indian community
≈ 58,094 of Indian origin
There is a growing Indian community — professionals, students, and families — mainly concentrated in Stockholm and Gothenburg, and a few also in Malmö and Lund.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian food is increasingly common in Swedish cities, especially in Stockholm and Gothenburg where international restaurants abound, though strictly Jain food (no root vegetables) is harder to find and best sought out in Indian-run eateries.
Indian food
Indian restaurants cluster in Stockholm neighbourhoods like Vasastan, Södermalm and Östermalm, as well as in Gothenburg and Malmö, while Indian grocery stores stocking spices and ingredients can be found in these same cities.
Places of worship
Stockholm has a gurudwara (Guru Nanak Darbar), a Hindu Temple Society, and several mosques, while churches of all Christian denominations are everywhere — useful if you seek familiar places of quiet or worship.
Sweden is one of the safest countries in Europe for visitors, with very low violent crime, though petty theft like pickpocketing can occur in busy tourist and nightlife areas.

Solo / women
“Sweden is generally a safe place to travel. Avoid drunk brawls on weekend nights as you would in most parts of the world, look out in the traffic and, if driving, look out for wildlife crossing the road, and you'd be quite safe. Also mind ice safety and the advice for any potentially risky activity you are going to…”

General guidance, explained by AI — confirm health needs with a doctor and safety with official advisories before you travel.
Midsommar (Midsummer)
Around the third weekend of June
Sweden's biggest traditional celebration — people dance around a maypole, wear flower crowns, feast on herring and strawberries, and celebrate the longest daylight of the year with a joyfully communal, almost carnival-like atmosphere.
Nobel Week and Nobel Prize Ceremonies
Early to mid-December
Stockholm transforms with laureate lectures, galas, and the Nobel Banquet at the Royal Palace — a chance to witness one of the world's most prestigious prize ceremonies up close in a beautifully lit, historic setting.
Walpurgis Night (Valborg)
April 30
Massive bonfires are lit across university cities like Uppsala and Lund to welcome spring, with crowds of students singing and celebrating — a lively, fiery, and deeply communal traditional spectacle.
Lucia Day
December 13
A candlelit procession led by a girl crowned with candles on her head, singing traditional songs in schools, churches, and public spaces — ethereal, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in Swedish culture.
