For most travelers from the EU, Schengen countries, and some other countries, no visa is required to enter Sweden. If you are coming from a country that requires a visa, you can apply for the visa online. A visa on arrival is not available. Make sure that your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your stay.
Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) is the largest and best-connected airport in Sweden. It offers many international flights and good connections to the Swedish transport infrastructure. From there, you can reach easy connections to many off-road travel destinations and opportunities to book rental cars for your adventure!
Swedish Krona (SEK) is the official currency in Sweden. Credit cards are accepted everywhere, so it is often not necessary to carry cash. However, for smaller shops or markets, it is advisable to have some cash on hand. ATMs are easily found in most cities, and cash deposits are also easy.
Generally, no vaccinations are required for entry into Sweden. However, it is strongly recommended to obtain travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. Also, check whether your health insurance is valid abroad. This is especially important for adventurous off-road trips, as accidents or injuries can occur unexpectedly.
A valid driving license from your home country is sufficient to drive in Sweden. International driving licenses are not required, but are recommended. Make sure you know all the traffic rules, as they may differ from those in your country. Consider the road conditions and weather when off-roading.
In Sweden, you can purchase SIM cards at many shops, supermarkets, or directly at the airport. Providers like Telia, Tele2, and Telenor offer attractive options. Look for prepaid plans that include data packages ideal for traveling. This is especially important for navigation and sharing your adventures on social media during your off-road trips.
