Hello! I´m from Ecuador, so I need a visa for Sweden but... I have a German Student Visa because I´ve been living here for the last year. Can I travel to Sweden with that visa?? Thank you!!

I think you would have to get a Swedish visa for Sweden - if you only have a German Visa. It actually looks like it should be possible with a Schengen Visa, but check with the embassy first. Ask the Swedish Embassy.

If you have a German Visa, you should be allowed to travel there without another visa for a holiday. But I just can say what the other one did. Ask the swedish embassy in germany.

When you check para 3. of the key points of the Schengen Acquis you can read: "Third-country nationals with a residence permit valid in one fully implementing country may travel on a valid passport, without requiring a visa, for up to 90 days per six-month period to any other fully implementing country; they are also not subject to border checks at the Schengen area's internal borders." http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/WillkommeninD/EinreiseUndAufenthalt/Schengen.html#t2 .. Your German Student Visa [Residence Permit/Aufenthaltstitel] in your Ecuadorian passport authorizes you for tourist travel to all other Schengen countries to include Sweden.
