Dear All,

I am currently residing in Italy and waiting for my Permesso Di Soggiorno to be issued. I have already given my fingerprints. Due to some work I have to visit Sweden for a week. The documents I have are:

Expired Permesso Di Soggiorno.

Reciept from the post office along with a letter issued after finger prints.

valid Passport.

(The above three documents allowed me to visit my home country but i have heard rumors that I am not allowed to visit a schengen country with above mentioned documents)

Can I visit sweden? I know similar question is being asked in this forum but that person already had a valid schegen Visa which i dont.

P.S: The official website of questura states that I am not allowed to transit from a Schengen state, but in my case, I am not transiting I am visiting it.

I may have misunderstood but surely a Passport is all you need, which is all that most people have for international travel (subject to any visa requirements for individual countries, for example聽 U.S.)

Need help with immigration or administrative procedures in Italy?

A valid Permesso Di Soggiorno, together with a valid passport is accepted in lieu of a visa to travel between Schengen countries; an expired Permesso Di Soggiorno is not valid for travel in the scheme.
