I’m from Thailand and stay in Sweden now. I’m planing to open a tour operator type business in Sweden. Do I need a licence and in case where can I go to find more info?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jenny,
You need a working permit as usual but there´s no formal requirements for a licence as a guide in Sweden. However, would you plan to sell your tours yourself directly to private consumers, instead of through an established travel agency, there are laws, regulations and praxis to follow. Like “General terms and conditions for package tours”
by Konsumentverket (the Swedish Consumer Agency), see http://www.konsumentverket.se. Also, the Swedish “travel package law” (paketreselagen) and “travel guarantee law” (resegarantilagen) are applicable. You would have to carry full liability insurance and Travel Guarantee (according to Act 1972:204) lodged with the Swedish legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency of Sweden – Kammarkollegiet – see more at http://www.kammarkollegiet/english/travel-guarantees.se .
