Can I entrust someone to apply for a Swedish visa?

The visa processing requirements of different countries are different. Some people have plans to go to Sweden, but they do not know about visa processing and do not have time to understand. Would you like to know if you can entrust others to apply for a Swedish visa?

Sweden is a Schengen country. According to relevant regulations, people who apply for a Schengen visa for the first time must go to the visa application center (or embassy or consulate) to submit an application in person and provide biometric data, that is, ten finger fingerprints and a digital photo.

Therefore, people who apply for a Swedish visa for the first time must submit materials in person and provide biometric data at the same time, so that they cannot entrust others to submit materials.

However, according to the Schengen visa regulations, if the applicant has previously applied for a visa from Sweden or other Schengen countries, the relevant biometric data will be retained for 59 months and will not be submitted again.

In other words, if this application is less than 59 months from the last application, you can entrust others to submit the materials on your behalf. Because applicants who are still within the validity period do not need to go to the visa application center again.

In addition, applicants for Swedish visas are exempt from fingerprint entry if they are children under the age of 12 and if their physical conditions do not allow fingerprint entry. However, for applicants who do not need to record fingerprints, if they want to entrust others to submit visa applications, the agent needs to provide a power of attorney signed by the applicant and the agent's own ID card.

It can be seen that whether the person applying for a Swedish visa can entrust others to handle it is related to the specific circumstances of applying for a Schengen visa. In fact, even the first application can be entrusted to others, but after the agency has arranged all the relevant matters, the individual will submit the Swedish visa materials in person. However, those who do not need to enter fingerprints can all entrust agencies to handle visa matters.
