Do I have to pay tuition fees?
No tuition fees for EU/EEA citizens
Higher education in Sweden is free for citizens within the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
Education is also free if you have been granted permanent Swedish residency or have been granted temporary Swedish residency for reasons other than studies.
More information is found at Who is required to pay fees?
I will apply for an extension of my residence permit for purposes other than studies
Your current residence permit determines when it is time to apply for an extension.

Tuition fees for non-EU/EEA citizens
If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland, you are required to pay tuition fees for higher education in Sweden.
If you are required to pay tuition fees, it is important that you do so as soon as possible after receiving the invoice. You must pay before applying for a residence permit and, since that process takes several months, it is important to start right away.
No tuition fees for exchange students
Incoming exchange students are exempted from tuition fees in accordance with their agreements.

Admission to our education programs is based solely on merit and is never influenced by nationality or other factors. However, due to international regulations, Swedish universities are currently prohibited from conducting monetary transactions with Belarus, Iran, and Russia. If you are a citizen of a country subject to international sanctions, please be aware of this restriction when deciding to accept your admission and pay the tuition fee.
