Hi everyone,

I will be renting a house from friends in Sweden next year while they are away. Even though they won't be occupying the house while I'm there, would that still fall in the category of the "visiting a friend" visa, or would I need to apply for a tourist visa?

It will be for more than 90 days (9 months to a year). Any advice on which visa is best for this situation? I have an American passport, if that helps with the options available to me.

Thanks!

Euletha
