Sweden Embassy in Dhaka halts Schengen visa processing

The Swedish Embassy in Dhaka has stopped processing Schengen visa applications. According to a notice issued on November 2, all matters regarding Schengen visas, including invitations, appeals, and general inquiries, must now be directed to the Swedish Migration Agency.

The new arrangement, which became effective on October 15, means that all decisions regarding short-term Schengen visa applications submitted from Bangladesh will be made by the Swedish Migration Agency located in Sweden.

While the decision-making authority has shifted, the application submission process remains unchanged. Applicants can still schedule appointments and submit required documents and biometric data through VFS Global in Dhaka.
