Important Notes

Nigerian citizens require a Schengen visa to enter Sweden. Applications are typically submitted through the Swedish Embassy in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos, often via a VFS Global center. The processing time can extend up to 45 days in some cases, especially if further documentation or interviews are required. It is advisable to apply well in advance of the planned travel date. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen area.
