Obtaining a visa for any country can often be a complex process, but following the right steps can make it possible to secure a visa in a single attempt. Many Pakistanis prefer to visit European countries, with Sweden being a popular destination due to its historical, natural, and cultural attractions.
For Pakistani citizens, acquiring a Schengen visa to Sweden requires a few essential steps to ensure the application is not rejected. Sweden offers short-term Schengen visas, and the Swedish embassy in Pakistan manages the application process for Pakistani citizens and those legally residing in the country.
Applicants must provide proof of financial stability, such as a bank statement, to support their visa application. Additionally, they need to demonstrate their ties to their home country, showing their personal, social, and economic status in Pakistan.
Applicants are required to submit bank statements from the last six months, signed and stamped by the bank. The funds in their account must be sufficient for the duration of their stay in Sweden. For those planning to stay for 30 days, a minimum of 2,400 Euros should be available in their bank account. As of November 28, 2024, with the exchange rate at 1 Euro = 291.3 PKR, applicants should have around 700,000 Pakistani Rupees in their account when applying for the visa.
