This permit is for non-EU students admitted to bachelor's, master's or exchange studies at a Swedish university; you must show you can support yourself and hold valid health cover, and most non-EU students pay tuition.
International students accepted onto first- or second-cycle (bachelor's or master's) or exchange studies at a Swedish university or university college apply to Migrationsverket for a residence permit for higher-education studies.
To qualify you generally need admission to full-time studies at a Swedish higher-education institution, payment of the first tuition instalment where fees apply, proof of sufficient funds to cover living costs for the permit period, comprehensive health insurance for shorter permits, and a valid passport. Tuition fees apply to most non-EU students.
Studying in Sweden can also open longer-term options, including a dedicated route for doctoral students toward permanent residence. Because funding requirements and fees can change, confirm the current details on Migrationsverket's official site before applying — and ACME can help you plan ahead if you hope to stay on after your studies.
