How much money do I need to show to prove I can support myself as a student in Sweden?

The Swedish Migration Agency requires proof that you can support yourself for the full period of your permit. Acceptable sources include personal bank savings, a documented scholarship, a study loan, employment income, or a sponsor's guarantee.

Bank statements generally need to be recent (issued within the last few months) and clearly show the money is available to you. The required amount is higher if you bring family. Always confirm the current monthly figure on the Migration Agency website before you apply, since these amounts are reviewed regularly.
