The Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka will no longer issue direct decisions on Schengen visa applications originating from Bangladesh effective October 15, 2026, transitioning all final decision-making authority to the Swedish Migration Agency in Sweden.
The Swedish Embassy in Dhaka announced the administrative policy update via an official notification on Thursday (October 1, 2026). According to the embassy statement, transferring decision-making power directly to the Swedish Migration Agency will not alter the submission workflow for Bangladeshi applicants. Travelers will continue to book appointments and submit their physical visa application files through VFS Global centers under standard established procedures. The embassy advised prospective applicants seeking Schengen visas for Sweden to consult the official diplomatic portal for detailed guidelines and updated administrative instructions.
