Bajaj General has an excellent track record of providing good travel insurance plans for international travel. There are multiple plans that provide comprehensive protection at a nominal cost.

However, beyond the mandated requirement for the visa, it is prudent to buy travel insurance from India since healthcare is very expensive outside India, and you do not want to be forced to go to a hospital overseas without any travel insurance.

No. Sweden's subsidised public healthcare system is available to Swedish residents and EU/EEA nationals not to Indian tourists on a short-stay Schengen visa. As a foreign visitor, you will be charged full unsubsidised rates for any medical treatment. A standard ER visit in Stockholm can cost SEK 3,000-5,000 (~₹25,000-₹42,000) or more for a visitor without insurance.

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for Indian nationals applying for a Sweden Schengen visa. Schengen visa rules require valid travel medical insurance, and a valid insurance certificate is part of the standard document checklist. Without it, your application may be considered incomplete and can be rejected.

Beyond the visa requirement, Sweden has one of the higher costs of living in Europe, and medical care for foreign visitors can be expensive. A visit to a Stockholm emergency room could cost an estimated SEK 3,000-5,000 (approximately ₹25,000-₹45,000) for a foreign visitor, before any medication, tests, or overnight stay. Bajaj General Sweden Schengen travel insurance helps protect you against these costs, with plans starting from ₹19/day*.

*Indicative estimates. Actual medical costs vary by hospital and treatment, and premium varies by traveller age, trip duration, and plan selected. 1 SEK ≈ ₹8.5-9 (indicative).

Note on Swedish public healthcare: Sweden's public healthcare system is publicly funded for residents, with patient fees for most services. As a non-EU visitor on a short-stay Schengen visa, you are generally charged the full cost of treatment, which makes travel insurance essential, not optional.

Sweden is one of Europe's more expensive destinations - Stockholm consistently ranks among the priciest cities for visitors. For the Schengen visa application itself, the Swedish Migration Agency (via VFS Global) expects you to demonstrate sufficient funds for your entire stay. A general guideline is €50-€100 per day in Sweden (~₹4,500-₹9,000/day).

For a 10-day trip, that means needing roughly €500-€1,000 in accessible travel funds separate from flights and accommodation already booked. Most visa advisors recommend maintaining a bank balance of at least ₹3-₹5 lakh for a short Sweden trip application to demonstrate financial comfort, especially for first-time Schengen applicants.

₹2 lakhs may be considered borderline for a 7-10 day trip if your flights and hotels are pre-booked and confirmed. Travel insurance, confirmed return tickets, and hotel bookings all strengthen your visa application regardless of the bank balance shown.

This is one of the most common questions from Indians planning a Sweden trip, and the answer has an important distinction:

• For Swedish residents and EU/EEA nationals: Healthcare in Sweden is heavily subsidised by the government and largely free or very low cost.
• For Indian tourists and short-stay visa holders: You are not covered by Sweden's public healthcare system. As a foreign visitor, you will be charged at full private rates, which are among the most expensive in Europe.

Bajaj General Sweden travel insurance covers these medical costs up to USD $50,000 (~SEK 5.5 lakh), giving you full financial protection whether you need a routine doctor visit or emergency hospitalisation in Stockholm, Gothenburg, or anywhere across the Schengen region.

For Indian travellers, buying travel insurance before your Sweden trip is essential both for the visa and for real financial protection in one of Europe's most expensive healthcare environments. Get your free quote →
