Reply to this Hi Hussain, Sweden is in the Schengen area, which basically means that if you get a Schengen visa this visa is valid for the other countries in the Schengen area. However, if it is a group visa it may not be possible to travel alone - I think in such a special situation you must talk to the Swedish embassy, they should be able to give you an answer. Be aware that even within the Schengen area there are checks at the border, I know from friends in this situation that they are often checked by passport police even when travelling in Schengen area. For example the police wait at the airport and ask to see your passport. So I wouldn't risk it, especially not going by plane or ferry as you they ask for proof of identity. You could try going to Norway by train or bus, but I haven't done it in a long time so I don't know for sure whether there are any checks.
