Passport Not Stamped on Entering Sweden

Passport Not Stamped on Entering Sweden - Person Holding an Opened Passport

I have a flight from India - Munich where they just scanned my passport and saw my Work permit of Sweden but didn't stamped on my passport.

On reaching Sweden there was no immigration check and directly came outside with no stamp on my passport.

What to do. Is this right or I need to get it stamped again ?



Best Answer

Not clearing immigration in Sweden was correct, because the Schengen Area (of which Germany and Sweden are part) functions as a single country, which you entered at Munich.

In addition, Germany is one of the Schengen countries that do not stamp passports of holders of residence permits. Although it lacks support in the Schengen Borders code, that is actual practice.

Thus, you will have no problems.

Answer 2

Your passport should have been stamped in Munich when you arrived in the Schengen zone from India.

If you did not get an entry stamp there, something is wrong. You'll probably need to contact the Swedish immigration authorities (try the nearest police station first) to figure out what you should do to regularize your documentation. Hopefully you still have boarding passes or other documentation for when you arrived in the Schengen area.
