Consulate General of Sweden, Shanghai

The Consulate General of Sweden is the diplomatic mission of Sweden in Shanghai. It is located in Huangpu district of Shanghai. The Swedish Consulate General in Shanghai today represents Sweden in East China, covering the city of Shanghai and the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang. Officially reopened in September 1996, it reflects Sweden's strategic interest in engaging with one of China's fastest-growing regions. Historically, Sweden has maintained a presence in Shanghai since the 19th century, when the original consulate was established in 1863 during the Sweden–Norway union. The early consular mission focused on supporting trade and shipping, operating within the frameworks of European imperial influence in China. However, due to limited resources and internal conflicts, the consulate struggled to fully leverage East Asia's economic opportunities and was eventually closed in 1956 after a long period of transition. Today, the consulate employs 17 staff, including diplomats from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and personnel from the Swedish Migration Agency. Its responsibilities include promoting Swedish foreign policy and increasing awareness of Sweden, particularly in areas such as trade, culture, and education. A dedicated promotion team leads this effort. The consulate also handles civil law and consular services, such as passport issuance, and manages administrative matters like protocol, security, and property. In addition, a major function is migration services, where a seven-person team processes visas, work permits, and residency applications.
