DHAKA, Jan 19, 2026 (BSS) - The Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka on Monday clarified that it does not represent any country in matters related to residence permits or national visas for stays exceeding 90 days, advising applicants to contact relevant authorities directly. The embassy said it processes Schengen visa applications only on behalf of Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia and Sweden. In a reminder shared as part of its #MigrationMonday outreach, the embassy emphasised that applications for residence permits or long-term national visas fall outside its mandate. "Please note that the Embassy does not represent any other country regarding residence permits or national visas (stays longer than 90 days). For such matters, applicants must contact the relevant embassy or migration authority directly," the embassy said in a statement.
