Most decisions arrive within 25–72 business days. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for delays or additional document requests.

Can I extend my Digital Nomad Visa once I'm in Sweden?

Extension policies vary. Contact the Sweden immigration authority within the country to inquire about extending your stay.
