What you need

  • Swedish ordinary passport valid for at least six months at entry
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket and onward-entry documents if applicable
  • Completed Palau Entry Form / QR code submitted within 72 hours before departure
  • Proof of sufficient support if requested
  • Evidence that the trip fits the relevant visa-waiver route

Why this verdict

Swedish citizens use the EU/Schengen 90-in-180 short-stay waiver. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, residence, long-term permits, digital-resident extensions, diplomatic/official missions, carrier handling, onward-entry documents and Palau immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Palau Immigration source before booking. Visitors must complete the Palau Entry Form QR process, meet six-month passport-validity, onward-ticket/support and Palau Pledge requirements, and must not work or change purpose unless separately authorized.
