What should I pay attention to when I hold a Swedish visa?

Regardless of the purpose of traveling to Sweden, Chinese citizens should apply for a visa in advance. However, some people were denied entry after receiving visas. The reason for this is a violation of Swedish entry regulations. The following is an introduction to you. What should you pay attention to when you hold a Swedish visa?

According to the regulations, people holding Chinese passports do not need to fill in the entry and exit card to enter Sweden, but Sweden implements stricter customs inspection and control according to relevant EU laws.

Chinese citizens entering Sweden should pay special attention to whether they carry alcohol, tobacco, food, cash, medicine and dangerous goods with them.

Personal items such as clothing and cameras needed by Chinese citizens during their travel in Sweden can enter the country free of customs duties, but there are restrictions on the amount and quantity, and there are also restrictions on the age of entry personnel.

If you enter Sweden by plane or ferry from outside the European Union, you will not be taxed when the amount of your belongings (excluding alcohol and tobacco) does not exceed 4,300 Swedish kronor (about 430 euros). For those who enter the country by other means of transportation, there is no tax when the amount of goods does not exceed 3,000 Swedish kronor (about 300 euros).

Chinese citizens who want to bring wine into Sweden must be at least 20 years old. The duty-free limit is 1 liter of beverages with an alcohol content of more than 22%, or 2 liters of wine with an alcohol content of more than 15% but less than 22%, or 4 liters of wine with an alcohol content of less than 15%, or no more than 16 liters of beer. The duty-free limit for tobacco entrants is 200 cigarettes, or 100 cigars, or 250 grams of smoking tobacco.

In terms of food, there are usually no restrictions on food purchased from other EU countries and used for personal use, but food brought into Sweden from non-EU areas is subject to strict control. Different food entry rules are different. Meat, dairy products, etc. require health certificates and will be subject to quarantine at the border.

In terms of cash, passengers carrying more than 10000 euros or the equivalent of cash entry and exit, need to declare to the customs. At the same time, passengers can bring prescription drugs for their health reasons.

For Chinese citizens, only with the permission of the Swedish police can passengers bring dangerous goods such as switchblades, pepper sprays, batons, rivet gloves, hammers, etc. However, I would like to remind you that in order to enter the country smoothly, these dangerous goods should not be carried.
