General Practical Information  Internet Access Wireless internet access will be available at the conference site. Passport and Visa Entry visas for temporary stays are not required for citizens of EU nations and other countries with which Sweden has visa agreements, including the U.S., Japan, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and others. Citizens who do not need visas for a temporary stay, may remain in Sweden for up to 90 days during a six-month period. For other nations' citizens, visas must be obtained from Swedish embassies and consulates. Applications should be submitted at least one month prior to departure for Sweden. Information on particular passport and visa requirements in Sweden is obtainable through all Swedish Diplomatic Offices. For further information, click here. Currency and Money Exchange Major foreign currencies can be exchanged for Swedish Kronor at international airports, exchange centers, authorized city banks, or major hotels (e.g. Bäckaskog). It is generally safe to carry cash in Sweden. Small amounts of cash are needed for most forms of transportation, for small dining spots that do not accept credit cards or travelers checks, and for other small purchases. Usually, only Swedish Kronor is acceptable at regular stores and restaurants. Travelers checks are accepted only by leading banks and major hotels in principal cities, and the use of travelers checks in Sweden is not as popular as in some other countries. Visa, Master-Card, Diners Club and American Express are widely accepted at hotels (e.g. Bäckaskog), taxis, department stores, shops, restaurants and night clubs. Taxi Tipping Electricity Insurance |
