Analysis of the online visa experience for Swedish international students

I have a student visa, so the materials I need to prepare for the online visa include three scanned documents (passport, admission letter, and bank certificate of funds).

It is necessary to talk about the bank funds certificate here. This requires you to open an account in the bank in your own identity and then deposit the corresponding amount of funds (6300SEK for one year and 94500SEK for one and a half years). This money Just deposit the same amount of RMB. Then ask the bank to issue a certificate of funds. At this time, there will be a problem of validity period and freezing period. In fact, the validity period is the freezing period, as long as you ensure that the fund certificate is valid during the entire period of your visa.

For example, if you want to apply for a student visa on July 1st, and the longest processing period may be only two months, then you can go to the bank to open a 3-6 visa in mid-to-late June. Monthly proof of funds. Some friends have been worried about the freezing of funds. In fact, this worry is unnecessary, because the original of your fund certificate is always in your hands. After your visa is processed, you can take the original and related documents to the bank to unfreeze and Exchange currency. (At least this is definitely the case for Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China).

Of course, the proof of funds does not necessarily require opening an account in your own identity. If you use the account of a relative or friend as proof of funds, in addition to a scanned copy of the proof of funds, you also need a relative certificate and a letter of guarantee from the relative. It is quite troublesome to go to the notary office for notarization, so it is recommended to open an account yourself when applying online.

After these materials are ready, scan them into your computer, log in to the Swedish Immigration Agency’s website? http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.jsp?, and select Electric application in the upper right corner to start the online application. Because payment for online applications is usually made through a credit card, you can apply for a credit card yourself before applying online (of course you can also use a classmate's, if you have not applied for it yourself. Some people have problems when paying with a Bank of China credit card, anyway I use The dual-currency card of China Merchants Bank is very easy to use.)

After that, you can fill in the application form, paste the attachments, and pay by credit card step by step.

Several points to note during the online application process are:

1. After the application is submitted, a window will pop up with the CHECK NUMBER of your application (it is best to calculate this yourself. To facilitate future contact with the Immigration Bureau) and the missing attachments will generally appear: the following document is missing: Permission from a central bank to bring out money from your country (where relevant) tells you that the central bank is missing You don’t need to pay attention to this information about the permit for taking money out of the country. You don’t need to provide it. (I feel that the attachment is not for Chinese people, because you cannot issue this certificate without obtaining a visa in China)

2. It is best to fill in the application form, attach attachments and pay at one time, so that the signature can be signed It will be faster; (Mine is to post attachments and pay one day after submitting the application form. A few days after I submitted everything, two of my classmates submitted it at once and signed it within 10 days, while mine had to wait for one month, we have almost the same other materials, except that they are submitted at one time, and the application form is more detailed than mine)

3. The upload of scanned attachments is sometimes very slow or the network condition is not good. Therefore, it is best not to scan too big a file, about 100K is enough; (you can use ACDSEE or PHOTOSHOP to compress it appropriately)

4. The email address must be filled in correctly (the Immigration Bureau will contact you through this email address after approval) Contact);

5 In the last option of the application form, be sure to select the Chinese embassy that issued the certificate (the default is not the Chinese embassy). There are three places in China to choose from: Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. You can choose the most convenient city for obtaining the visa through your own city. However, you cannot pick up your visa on the same day in Shanghai. You must submit your visa and photos when picking up your visa, and then you can pick up your visa after a few working days. However, it seems that you can pick up your visa on the same day in Beijing and Guangzhou;

6. The content of the application form can be Please fill in as much details as possible;

In the end, your task is to wait patiently. The official processing cycle is 4-5 weeks, but as far as I know, this cycle can range from one day to two months. (Generally, the cycle of online visa application seems to be relatively short, and most friends will receive the application email within 10-20 days), so it is normal to apply for application on any day. Just get the visa before enrolling.
