Overview
Sweden is listed in the Visa Atlas directory with stable ISO codes SE/SWE, capital Stockholm. This directory covers 196 countries: the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See, the State of Palestine and Kosovo. That is a chosen editorial scope, not a universally accepted count — recognition and membership differ between organisations and governments, and listing a place here implies no political position.

A working link is not proof of official status, and a reachable page is not expert review. Confirm every rule on the government site itself before you travel.
Official guidance

A Schengen short-stay visa is not a long-stay or national visa and does not grant the right to work. Stays beyond 90 days, study, and employment are governed by each member state's national rules, which are not seeded here.
