      As a swede in france, you can add the travel cost to Paris, only the embassy there has the biometric machine to do passports…

      Also the idiots in sweden thought 5 (yes five) years validity is a good thing.

      yea, but $16 a year for an instant 50-90% reduced cost of living with guaranteed high-pay employment and no income tax while retaining access to consular services is a pretty good deal.

      not as good as 7 bucks a year, but I’m not exactly going to quibble over the extra ten in the face of all the benefits.
