Travelling to SSE
ARRIVING AT THE AIRPORT
If you are not an EEA citizen, at Passport Control, you
may need to show the Immigration Officer:
• A passport which is valid for at least three months
after the final date of the visa
• A residence permit
• An acceptance letter from SSE
• Evidence of accommodation (if available)
Remember to carry these documents in your hand luggage so that they can be accessed easily. Please be aware
of changing regulations in this area and keep up-to-date
on requirements via the Swedish embassy in your home
country. After going through passport control, you will
be able to collect your luggage and move through to
customs. There are two routes: a green exit if you have
nothing to declare and a red exit if you have goods to
declare. Please see this link for information about restricted items:

TRAVELLING FROM THE AIRPORT
TO CITY CENTER
The airports that serve the greater Stockholm area are
Arlanda International airport, Bromma, Skavsta and
Västerås.
The express train, Arlanda Express, is the fastest way
into town from Arlanda Airport. It only takes 20 minutes from the airport to the Central Station in Stockholm. Arlanda Express often offers discounts, especially
on the weekends. Tickets are sold in vending machines
on the way to the platform.
For trips to and from Stockholm Arlanda Airport the
major taxi companies (Taxi Stockholm, Taxi 020 and
Taxi Kurir have fixed prices of between SEK 450-550.
Always ask the driver beforehand. In addition to the
major taxi companies there are several independent
firms; because their prices are less predictable caution
is advised.
Airport buses, Flygbussarna, run from all four airports
(Arlanda, Bromma, Skavsta, Västerås) and are the least
expensive alternative. They arrive at Cityterminalen,
adjacent to the Central Station in downtown Stockholm. Airport buses also stop at other bus stops in
Stockholm and the inner suburbs. Buses from Arlanda
Airport run regularly while those to and from Bromma,
Skavsta and Västerås airports connect with arrival and
departure times. The tickets are sold in the vending machines outside the baggage claim area.
It is easy to rent a car in Stockholm. Most major international car rental companies have offices and rental
locations at all of Stockholm’s airports. It’s possible to
book in advance or at the airport. To rent a car you
will need a national driving license and a valid passport.
Stockholm’s inner city has road tolls for Swedish-registered vehicles, so be sure to ask if tolls are included in
the price. However, if you chose this type of transportation, please note that the parking spaces are limited in
the city center and parking fees are expensive.
