Visiting Family in Sweden from Iran

There's no requirement that the passenger books or pays for their own pickup — a relative in Sweden can enter the traveller's flight details and destination address, pay with their own card, and give a contact number for the driver's details to be sent to. It's often the most practical arrangement here, since a home-issued card that doesn't work for the booking is a common, entirely ordinary obstacle rather than anything unusual.

If the visiting relative won't have a working phone on landing, have the driver's details sent to the Sweden-based family member's number instead, and either meet them at arrivals together or pass the details along once everyone is connected.

Because the journey usually runs through a connecting hub, give us the flight number for the final leg that actually lands at Arlanda — that's the one we track live, so your pickup time follows the actual landing regardless of how the earlier leg went. If the connection changes closer to the date, update us with the new number as soon as it's known.

Visa requirements for Iranian passport holders visiting Sweden depend on the visit's purpose and current rules, and generally need to be arranged in advance of travel — check the requirement for your specific situation with the relevant consulate before booking flights, since this is not something to assume from a previous trip.

Family visits from Iran often run for several weeks rather than a short holiday, and the luggage that comes with a longer stay — clothes, gifts, sometimes items for the household that aren't easy to find once you're already travelling — tends to add up to more than a standard vehicle category comfortably fits. Mention roughly how much you're bringing when the booking is made, and the right category is confirmed before you land rather than discovered at the kerb after two long flights.
