We continue to advise exercise normal safety precautions in Sweden. The new European Entry/Exit System (EES) starts on 12 October for all non-EU nationals, including Australians, travelling in or out of the Schengen Area. You’ll need to register at borders and have your fingerprint and photo taken. There may be longer border queues (see ‘Travel’).

Sweden’s domestic terror alert is at ‘elevated’ or level 3 out of 5. An elevated threat level still includes the possibility that a terrorist attack could occur.

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Sweden.
