Sweden Researcher Visa 

A Sweden Researcher Visa allows highly qualified foreign national to engage in research, development, training, and innovation activities in the country. A researcher or PhD holder must be invited to the Research Council to conduct research in Sweden before they can apply for a Sweden researcher visa. 

The research funding body can be a Swedish university, institution, or company. The Researcher visa is applied for applicants who want to reside in the country for more than three months for research purposes. In contrast, if the research purpose is less than three months, they have to apply for a short-term Schengen visa, valid for 90 days in a 180-day period.  Applicants seeking a Sweden researcher visa must apply for a residence permit.
