Residence permit

All students from non-EU/EEA countries have to apply for a residence permit/visa to be able to study at Halmstad University. On this page you can find more information about the requirements and application process.

Requirements to be granted a residence permit

  • Granted admission to full-time studies (30 credits per semester) in a programme or courses that require your presence in higher education
  • A valid passport
  • Ability to support yourself for the planned study period
  • Comprehensive health insurance that covers the whole period you are in Sweden if you plan to study for less than one year

If you are admitted to a course/programme of one year or less, the admission letter (notification of selection results) confirms that you are covered by a health insurance from Halmstad University. If you apply through the Migration Agency web application, you can attach your admission letter as proof of health insurance.
