You should allow at least 2 - 3 months for the Sweden student visa process.

- Document preparation: 2 - 4 weeks to gather documents and receive your admission letter.
- Biometric appointment: Book immediately after online application; availability can vary, especially during peak periods.
- Visa processing: Typically 4 - 12 weeks; may extend to 10 - 14 weeks during peak times (June - August, December - January).
- Residence permit card: After approval, allow up to 4 additional weeks for card issuance and collection.

Processing times are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances and application volume.
