The Embassy of Sweden in Islamabad has officially resumed its visa processing services.

The Government of Sweden has reinstated visa services in Islamabad, following the Bilateral Political Consultations between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan and Sweden, which took place in Stockholm on July 2.

Starting July 7, Pakistani citizens can now apply for a Schengen visa from within Pakistan for visits to Sweden of up to 90 days.

According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this decision will ease the travel process for Pakistanis planning short-term visits to Sweden. The Ministry also welcomed the move, describing it as a positive step reflecting the deepening bilateral relations between the two nations.

The Pakistani delegation at the consultations was led by the Additional Foreign Secretary (Europe), while the Swedish side was headed by the Director General for Global Affairs from Sweden’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
