Arrival cards and declarations: EES — Entry/Exit System (biometric registration)

The EU's Travel Europe site says that the first time you arrive at a border crossing point since the EES started, passport control officers will take a photo of your face and/or scan your fingerprints, and your passport will not be stamped; it says this can be quicker if you register some data in advance at a self-service system, where available, and/or through a mobile application. The UK government says there is no cost for EES registration.

Overstay penalties

A foreigner who intentionally or negligently stays in Sweden without the required permit, without having applied for one, is sentenced to a fine (böter). A foreigner who is not an EEA citizen or the family member of one may be expelled (utvisning) if they stay in Sweden without a passport or the permits required. If no voluntary-departure period can be given, refusal-of-entry decisions of the Police and refusal or expulsion decisions of the Migration Agency are combined with a re-entry ban, unless special personal reasons speak against it. A re-entry ban is also issued when a voluntary-departure period expires without departure. A re-entry ban is set at most five years.
