Visas

The schengen visa makes it simpler travelling around most of Europe, but only if for less than 90 days in 6 months.

Eventually .. it seems that we need to get a longer visa .. but you get it for the first country you enter  .. in our case Sweden.

I went to Swedish consulate in Sydney.

To get the required Visa you need

• Passport(s) & photocopy of passport(s)
• Copy of  Air Ticket/Itinery
• Copy of insurance
• Proof that you have over $1000 AU per month
