Stockholm
Archipelago logistics plus dense bostadsrätt stock make signed foreign-guest cards and board-consent checks essential — no city tourist tax.
Local focus
- Registreringskort
- BRF consent
- Self check-in gate
Country context
Utlänningsförordningen 6 kap. 13 § requires commercial overnight providers to capture a personally signed registreringskort from foreign guests (ID verified; keep 3 months for Polisen). Lag (2024:1082) adds Polisen anmälan for ≥9 guests / ≥5 rooms. No national STR register and no tourist tax in force — apartment short stays turn on BRF / landlord consent plus Skatteverket income rules.
Self check-in works when the personally signed foreign-guest registreringskort and ID verification are captured before access — housing consent is a separate prerequisite.
