The short answer
Bangladeshi citizens need a visa arranged in advance to enter Sweden. A visa has to be obtained before travelling to Sweden. The fee is EUR 90 for applicants aged 12 or older, EUR 45 for children aged 6 to 11, and no fee for children aged 0 to 5, as stated by the Swedish Migration Agency in September 2026. The fee is paid when the application is submitted, may vary slightly on conversion to local currency, and is not refunded if the application is rejected. Passport validity: a passport valid for at least three months after you plan to leave the Schengen area. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. This was last checked on 26 September 2026.
