Starting April 9, 2025, Sweden is once more offering visa services to Pakistanis.
Starting April 9, 2025, the Swedish Embassy in Islamabad will officially start handling residence permit applications for Pakistani people. For people hoping to labor, learn, or go to family members in Sweden, this change is quite a relief.
Some important points:
Services offered in Islamabad:
At the Swedish Embassy in Islamabad, candidates can now present biometric data, receive passport verification, and directly attend interview.
Sorts of permits insured:
Lavor permits
Scholarly visa
parents reunite with their honorees
“ShortTerm (Schengen) Visas:”
VFS Global offices in Bangkok, Jakarta, and Tokyo will still be used to process source materials.
Why This Is Important:
Pakistani candidates were previously expected to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for visa services—adding cost, time, and difficulty. The new configuration will clear backlogs, reduce delays, and enhance access.
Official directives and more information can be found at the Swedish Migration Agency’s site.
Especially benefiting students, professionals, and families, this shift represents a positive change in improving diplomatic and peopletopeople contacts between Sweden and Pakistan.
