Information for you as a guest at Chalmers

Regardless where you are from, you as a guest:

• will have access to systems and facilities connected to the purpose of your visit. If you need access to additional resources beyond what has been specified, please contact your host.
• will commit to following Chalmers’ guidelines and safety regulations.
• should have valid insurance coverage for the entire duration of your stay. If you do not have valid insurance during your visit to Chalmers, you must inform your host.

Are you a non-EU/EEA citizen?

Most visitors to Sweden require a visa. A visa is a permit necessary for entry and stay in Sweden for a maximum of three months. A visa must be obtained before entering Sweden. For more information on the application process and where to submit an application, visit Sweden Abroad 

If your stay is longer than three months you need to apply for a residence permit at the Swedish Migration Agency. A copy of your residence permit must be sent to your host.

Technological progress has made a decisive contribution to a better life for humankind. However, it is that same technological development that is in many ways responsible for the serious situation our planet now finds itself in. Chalmers must therefore focus even more on the transition for a sustainable change.
