Irish Business Travellers to Stockholm

Updated 3 min read

Ireland is a European Union member but sits outside the Schengen area, which means a flight from Dublin into Arlanda goes through passport control on arrival — a step most other EU-to-EU business travel to Sweden doesn't involve. It's worth knowing about before you land, mainly so the transfer is booked with that step in mind rather than assumed away.

This guide covers booking an Arlanda arrival from Ireland, and getting the company receipt an Irish business expects.

Passport control adds a step, not a delay you need to manage

Because your pickup time follows your flight's actual landing rather than the moment you clear the terminal, the time spent at passport control is exactly what the free waiting window exists to absorb. You don't need to time anything around it — land, go through the check, and your driver is tracking the flight, not the queue.

Booking the arrival

Give us your flight number and your address, and choose the vehicle category that fits your luggage — the fixed price is shown before you pay, calculated for the exact route to your destination in Stockholm or Uppsala.

Receipts for an Irish company

Choose the company receipt option at booking and enter your company's details — the receipt generated afterward shows the price and VAT line clearly, in a form that works for a standard Irish company expense claim.

Booking the return trip

If you're also arranging your departure back to Dublin, book that transfer against your flight's scheduled time and update it if the flight changes — free cancellation up to 12 hours before pickup covers either leg if your plans shift.

Building in time for the passport check

While the free waiting window covers your driver's side of the wait, it's still worth building a little personal margin into your own plans around the passport check specifically — not because it's typically lengthy, but because it's one more step than a Schengen-to-Schengen arrival involves, and a first-time traveller on this route may not expect it.

Booking ahead of the trip

There's no need to wait until you've landed to book — arrange the transfer from Ireland before you fly, with the fixed price, route and vehicle category all confirmed ahead of time, so it's one less thing to think about once you're through passport control.

What every Förare booking includes

The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.

  • Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
  • 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
  • No terminal fee
  • No surge pricing, ever
  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours

Questions people ask before booking

Do I need to plan for passport control when booking my Arlanda transfer?

Not specifically — your pickup follows your actual landing time, and the free waiting window covers the time spent at passport control after you land.

Why does Ireland have passport control at Arlanda when other EU countries don't?

Ireland is in the EU but not the Schengen area, so it maintains its own passport checks separate from the open-border Schengen arrangement most of the rest of the EU shares.

Can the receipt be made out to my Irish company?

Yes — choose the company receipt option and enter your company's details, and the receipt shows the price and VAT line clearly.

Should I book my Dublin return flight transfer at the same time?

You can — book it against your scheduled flight time and update it if the flight changes; free cancellation up to 12 hours before pickup applies if your plans shift.

Does the fixed price account for the extra time at passport control?

The price is for the route itself; the time at passport control is covered by the free waiting window rather than affecting the price.

Book your Arlanda pickup
