Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN)

Arriving passengers pass through border control if originating outside the Schengen area, proceed to baggage reclaim, and clear customs before entering the main arrivals hall.

• Follow designated signs toward passport control upon disembarking; Schengen arrivals bypass border gates directly to baggage reclaim.
• Passengers arriving from non-Schengen destinations must present a valid passport or national identity card to Swedish Police border officials.
• Collect checked baggage in the designated reclaim hall; monitor flight information displays for carousel numbers.
• Proceed through customs control: choose the green channel if carrying goods under duty-free limits, or the red channel if declaring items.
• Exit into the public arrivals hall or SkyCity to access transport options, car rental counters, and airport services.
