Q&A on the coronavirus for newly admitted students
Visas and residence permits
Before you come to Sweden, make sure that you have the correct documentation. International and exchange students from outside the EU/EEA who are admitted for studies lasting longer than three months must apply for a residence permit (“uppehållstillstånd” in Swedish).
Deferral of study commencement
If there are exceptional circumstances, a student accepted onto an undergraduate or master's degree course may defer the commencement of their studies. A student who is a citizen of a country outside of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland that does not meet one of the criteria for exemption of tuition fee must first have paid the tuition fee in order to be granted deferral of study commencement.
