GENERAL VISA INFORMATION
Sweden joined the European Union in January 1995 and became a member of the Schengen cooperation in 2001. If you're travelling to the championship as a citizen of a non-EU country, you may need to apply for a Schengen Visa. The Swedish Migration Agency and The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs are aware about the competitions, and they're ready to provide as good support as possible.

SWEDEN ABROAD
We strongly advise you to visit Sweden Abroad, the official website of the Swedish embassies and consulates where you will find specific information about the Visa requirements and application process for your country.
INVITATION LETTERS
Participants who require a visa should contact the LOC to request an invitation letter to initiate visa procedures at the visa issuing authorities as early as possible. Before an invitation letter can be issued, you must be registered for the Championships and have your registration accepted by your Member country (i.e., listed as ”accepted” on the registration lists). Once both of these requirements are met, you can request an invitation letter by sending an email to contact@2024wmac.com. The following information must be included in the request for an invitation letter:
- Full name (First name and family name as written in passport)
- Function in the Team (Athlete or Official)
- Gender
- Passport number or national ID number
- Country
- Arrival and departure date
- Email address
MAKE SURE YOU APPLY ON TIME
You can submit your application up to six months before the start of your intended visit. Apply as far in advance as possible and no later than 15 days before your intended trip, to be sure to have your Visa ready on time.
THE MEDICAL INSURANCE IS VITAL
To get you Visa application approved you have to present a valid medical travel insurance. The insurance coverage should be for a minimum of 30.000 euro and is preferably taken out in your home country. If you are travelling here as an athlete, make sure the insurance covers your participation in sports.
