How to apply to study in Sweden from Uzbekistan

From Uzbekistan the accepted upper secondary qualification is the Secondary School Certificate with the final transcript with all subjects and grades: Umumiy O'rta Ta'lim To'g'risida Shahodatnoma, the Certificate of Full Secondary Education; the Academic Lyceum Diploma, the Professional College Diploma and the O'rta Ma'lumot To'g'risida Shahodatnoma are also accepted.

The final transcript with all subjects and grades is named together with the Secondary School Certificate in the instructions for Uzbekistan.

The test report is how the English 6/English Level 2 requirement is documented in the application.

You submit a copy of the page in your passport that shows your personal data and photograph, or equivalent identification.

You must submit your documents in the original language and also provide an official translation, completed as well as signed and stamped by a translation company or a person who works as a translator; accepted languages for translations are Swedish and English.

You must show at least SEK 10,656 per month if you applied in 2026; the amount is reduced by SEK 2,960 if food is free and by SEK 4,736 if housing is free.

Sweden (in force 1 May 1999) and Uzbekistan (15 April 2012) are both parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, so where legalisation is asked for an apostille is what applies; University Admissions itself asks for an official translation rather than an apostille.

You must have a valid passport for the residence permit; this row repeats the application-side passport row because the Migration Agency states the condition separately.

Before a decision you must present your passport and be fingerprinted and photographed, and the Migration Agency uses that to produce the residence permit card, so you do not upload a photo yourself.
