來說說辦瑞典簽證簡直快急死人的經驗。~. . ~

今天是7月9日。距離送件日期已經過了49天(一個多月),距離出發還有42天
截至目前為止,簽證還沒到手,你說我真的能安心睡個好覺嗎?

擷取學校網頁關於簽證核發的一段說明如下:

There will be a very high number of applicants in the same situation as you, so it's important to get first in line. It can take 3-4 months to receive a permit and many of our admitted students loose their admission because they fail to arrive on time. We do not give any extra favours to those delayed by the residence permit process. It is therefore crucial that you start this process TODAY!

原本我以為,學校未免也太危言聳聽了吧! 移民局發個簽證要3-4個月,這是怎麼一回事,實在無法理解。更無法理解的還在後面,看清楚了,如果你delay了,學校竟然讓你"無法入學"!!!

我去送件的時候,想說學校網頁既然這樣說,我還特別問了簽證官,以她的經驗來看,
我現在送件會不會來不及,她還很有信心的跟我說: No problem, take around~

辦美簽還有專業的服務公司幫你審件、排隊、處理快遞寄送,一整排會說中文的簽證官坐在那裏直接決定你的生死,瑞典台北貿易辦事處只有2個人(我見過的,據說還有一位是她們的老闆,我沒見過),而且台北只負責收件跟收錢,簽證官只負責幫你看文件有沒有問題,最後整包東西要寄回瑞典移民局審查,果然沒甚麼人去的國家,作業效率真的令人刮目相看~

基本上,辦簽證的手續並不難,只要把文件備齊,交個簽證費$4500就好了(這是學生簽證的價錢,申根旅遊簽證好像只要一千多) 。

送件的地方: Swedish Trade Council Taipei , 在基隆路世貿大樓11F, 不是展覽館喔
聯絡電話:02-27576573 #18 (直接轉簽證官)

準備的文件如下:
1. 護照正本及影本2份
2. 2吋照片x2
3. 申請書一式2份 (自己去瑞典移民局網站下載http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.jsp)
4. admitted letter2份 (去https://www.studera.nu/自己印出來)
5. 銀行財力證明1份,最少要開的金額如下
*Please note that to be able to get a residence permit, you need to enclose proof of access to no less than SEK 7300/month, with the application
6. 健康保險證明1份
7. 簽證費$4500


如果你申請一年的program(60 ECTS),因為瑞典政府並不提供給你社會保險,要超過一年以上的program才有,所以其中要特別注意的,就是一定要出具你買了健康保險的證明,簽證官也會特別提醒你,證明書上的保險有效期必須跟預計居留期間相同或較長。

我急著送件,當時有兩種選擇,一是直接請保險公司開立醫療險的證明,另外一個想法是另外買旅行平安險,無奈旅平險+海外突發醫療最長效期只能買180天,對於簽證居留期間不符合,只能放棄2選第1項,問題是醫療險是預繳阿,下次繳費日是明年2月,她們一直說別的國家都沒有這種詭異的要求,她們開不出有效期到明年年底的證明給我,跟保險公司盧了半天,最後同意讓我預繳保費(我還寫了一張切結書),最後總算是開出證明混過了~

還有一個問題是預計出境跟入境日期的寫法。我在網路上查前人的經驗,有人會建議我們申請長一點,學期結束後才可以多留在歐洲到處玩,現在瑞典審查很嚴,如果你沒有正當理由,很難申請得到多一點時間,只能時間快到時在當地申請延簽,意思就是要再繳一筆簽證費就給你啦~


學校關於保險的說明也列出來好了:
Health Insurance
In Sweden, medical treatment is very expensive if you don't have access to the public health system or purchase your own insurance. A regular check-up for minor issues will cost about SEK 800-1000. (目前匯率1:4.3, 大約是3~4 千台幣)

Non-EU/EEA citizens:If you have a residence permit valid for a period of less than a year (all students admitted to programs or courses of 60 credits or less), then you are not able to register at the local tax office, and you do not have automatic access to the public health care system. Students who are not covered have to arrange their own insurance coverage.
You have to purchase a health insurance in your home country, before you come here.Please make sure that the insurance you purchase fulfill the requirements given by the Migration Board.Even when you do have a health insurance, you will be asked to pay the full cost of the treatment upon the visit at the medical centre and then claim that amount from your insurance agency, afterward.
