Swedish Honorary Consulate in Libya

Sweden has an honorary consulate in Benghazi; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

Sweden requires Libyan citizens to hold a visa issued in advance. Sweden has no embassy or career consulate in Libya, and its honorary consulates normally do not issue visas; applications go to a mission of Sweden accredited to Libya from another country, or to another Schengen state that represents it for visas.

In return, Libya has an embassy in Sweden, in Stockholm.
