Paying online

Paying at an embassy or consulate-general
If you are applying at an embassy or consulate-general, you pay the fee when you hand in your application. The fee is usually paid in the local currency. The exchange is calculated according to the rate set by the European Central Bank. The amount is rounded off to the nearest whole amount. For more information about the fee, contact the embassy or consulate-general where you are applying.

When you request a refund you should write
- your first name and surname
- your personal ID number or date of birth
- your address
- why you should get a refund
- which case number/control number the fee applies to
- which bank and account number the money should be transferred to.
You must also submit a bank statement or receipt that clearly shows that you have paid a fee to the Swedish Migration Agency. Send this in a letter to the Swedish Migration Agency, 601 70 Norrköping.
