Gran Canaria Island to Visby (LPA–VBY) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

Spanish passport holders enter Sweden freely as EU and Schengen citizens. Flights from Spain arrive without passport control. A valid Spanish passport or national ID card is sufficient. No visa, registration, or advance paperwork is needed for any length of stay.

If you plan to live in Sweden longer than 3 months, register with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) to get a personnummer (personal identity number). This number is essential for renting an apartment, opening a bank account, getting a phone plan, and accessing healthcare. Bring proof of employment or sufficient funds, your passport, and proof of address. Processing takes 2 to 4 weeks. Without a personnummer, daily life in Sweden is difficult because the entire system runs on it.
