You technically can receive a fine for an overstay, which you have to pay before you leave the country. Whether or not you actually get one depends on the mood of the customs people you deal with that day. It's not that common to get one, but it does happen. More common is a future travel ban to the Schengen Zone, which covers most of Europe (the ones in dark blue). http://www.zoonpoliticon.ch/blog/wp-content/uploads/569px-schengenagreement_map_svg.png These bans usually last 5-10 years, so if you plan to return to Europe you may encounter problems. If you're caught before your flight leaves (but after the permit expires) you can be deported, but this is rarely done. Some people overstay and nothing happens, but I've known more people that received a ban than not. Edit: The other answer is incorrect, as you have to leave Sweden (and Schengen) for 90 days before you can return, even as a tourist. Travelling is only allowed as long as your residence permit is valid. When it expires, since you've stayed in the zone for longer than 90 days on the permit, you have to leave the area. You can't go directly from a residence permit to a tourist stay allowance. I went through the whole residence permit ordeal myself in Sweden, and asked this same thing to Migrationsverket when trying to figure out if I could delay its renewal while travelling.

Assuming you will leave Sweden (for "traveling Europe") prior to June 30th and return sometime after that your status will be "tourist" when you enter Sweden after your visa expires. The fact you have a bit of time left on your apartment's lease shouldn't matter. However, you need to check with the authorities to make sure you don't have to leave the EU for your departure to count as "leaving Sweden". If you mean you will be in Sweden when July 1st arrives then you need to check with the authorities. The bottom line is: Check with the authorities - don't depend on YA for critical information. Good luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------ To repeat: You need to check with the authorities to make sure you don't have to leave the EU for your departure to count as "leaving Sweden" and The bottom line is: Check with the authorities - don't depend on YA for critical information. So, how is that incorrect - assuming the answer from Elizabeth is indeed correct?
