Travellers with Disabilities
Sweden is one of the easiest countries in which to travel around in a wheelchair. People
with disabilities will find transport services, ranging from trains to taxis, with adapted facilit-
ies; contact the operator in advance for the best service.
Public toilets and some hotel rooms have facilities for those with disabilities; Hotels in
Sweden ( www.hotelsinsweden.net ) indicates whether hotels have adapted rooms. Some
street crossings have ramps for wheelchairs and audio signals for visually impaired people,
and some grocery stores are wheelchair accessible.
For further information about Sweden, contact De Handikappades Riksförbund (
08-685 80 00; www.dhr.se ) , the national association for the disabled.
Also, contact the travel officer at your national support organisation; they may be able to
put you in touch with tour companies that specialise in travelling with disabilities.
Visas
Citizens of EU countries can enter Sweden with a passport or a national identification card
(passports are recommended) and stay indefinitely. Uppehållstillstånd (residence permits)
are no longer required for EU citizens to visit, study, live or work in Sweden.
Non-EU passport holders from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US can enter
and stay in Sweden without a visa for up to 90 days. Australian and New Zealand passport
holders aged between 18 and 30 can qualify for a one-year working-holiday visa. For
longer stays, you'll need to apply for a visitor's permit instead of an entry visa. These must
be applied for before entering Sweden. An interview by consular officials at your nearest
