Visa surge for foreign students
Published: 24th August 2006 11:45 CET
Sweden is becoming an increasingly popular place for foreigners to study. With more universities offering classes in English, students from around the world have been knocking on the door of the Swedish Migration Board asking for temporary visas.
Since January this year, the number of non-European Union students has shot up, increasing by 32 percent compared to the same period last year.
The Board saw a spike in applications during the summer months with 5,253 requests coming in. Some 4,149 applications from students outside the EU were considered last year.
