Residence permit for students at folk high schools and vocational institutions, renewable for up to 1 year per grant.
The residence permit for "other studies" facilitates full-time education outside traditional university programs, such as folk high schools and vocational training. Administered by the Swedish Migration Agency, this permit bridges a gap for learners pursuing non-traditional educational experiences like language immersion or technical certifications.
Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial means (SEK 106,560 minimum). The permit is valid for up to one year and is renewable. The application fee is SEK 1,500 for adults and SEK 750 for children under 18; processing takes approximately three months. This permit does not authorize work and does not provide a pathway to permanent residence.
This visa is ideal for individuals seeking full-time study in non-traditional Swedish educational institutions, including folk high schools and vocational programs.
