People
For travel with a tourist purpose.
For French Citizens
A valid national identity card or passport is sufficient for a stay of up to three months. After that, a residence permit is theoretically required. That said, Sweden is part of the Schengen Area and is therefore theoretically border-control-free when arriving from another member country.
Other Nationalities
The same applies to Canadians, Swiss nationals, citizens of the European Union, and a few other nationalities. For other visitors, a Schengen visa valid for the 26 member states is required for a tourist stay of less than 3 months.
Long Stays
In Case of Offense
Vehicles
No special requirements for vehicles already circulating within the Schengen Area.
