Hey all, I'm new here. I have a very specific question: and that is this....If I'm from America, and I travel to Sweden, I stay for 90 days (the legal limit), can I then travel to England and back to Sweden and have another 90 days?
Also: I am epileptic, and I need to be able to get my medication while I'm in Sweden. However, I have no tax id number, which means I can't go to a doctor without paying a lot (also I have to buy the medication which is expensive). How can I get epileptic medication (Shipping from the US is illegal).
Finally, is there a way to get a visa without having university experience? If there is any way that I can, please inform me. It is my dream to live in Stockholm...And I receive a disability check every month of 1100 dollars. And naturally, I know a little bit of Swedish. I've been there three times, and studied the language quite intensely.

Accordning to the Swedish Government everybody is welcome and everything is for free!

Your welcome too stay as long as you want too

Hi Enry,
The previous posters are pulling your leg, but I suppose you got that...
Anyway, I am afraid this will be difficult for you. To get an "uppehållstillstånd" (green card) you need to be part of one of the following categories:
* You are citizen of a EU/EES country.
* You have family (spouse, parents, children) living in Sweden.
* You have got a job in Sweden, e.g. sent out by your American employer.
* You are a refugee.
* You have been accepted for studies in Sweden.

Since you don't seem to sort into any of these categories, you'll need to stay here on a tourist visa, which as you say is only valid for 90 days within any 6 month period. It cannot be extended by travelling to another EU/EES country. It can, however, in a few cases be extended for a longer time, read more here: http://www.migrationsverket.se/info/2974_en.html

But I think your best chances of getting to stay longer is to go here, and hook up with some Swedish guy/gal... or start studying/working.

Good luck!

USA citizens does not need a visa according to this list.

This is very odd. Kanske betyder det att när en man ifrån US kom, de inte måste ha ett visa i förhand, bara på flyplattsen är när man behövas bara. Sorry for my bad Swedish, but I thought I would practice!

Flygplatsen is what I meant to write, but I was going quickly..

Don't worry you're doing great. And yes, since you get money on regular basis coming in you can just catch the ferry from Stockholm to Finland to renew your visa. You can do this for quite a while

Nej det är det inte! I have checked this, as Ive been to Finland twice. It does NOT renew your visa. It is a continuation of the first time you got it stamped...För dåligt!

Detta betyder att man inte behöver ansöka om visum, att man får inresetillstånd automatiskt som amerikansk medborgare. Dock gäller det bara i tre månader.

Ok i don't know if this is due to the EU regulations, but Norway is a non-member country and it might be enough to renew your visa. And as a last resort you always have the UK, it's cheap to go and it will definitely extend your stay

You need to go back to your home country to extend the visa. Country hopping does not help. I have a friend who had to go home to Australia from Sweden because of this.
