I know you can visit Schengen/EES with a Swedish National ID Card, and also Croatia, Bosnia and in some cases Tunisia. Are there more places you can visit with a Swedish National ID Card?

    The multiple listings of certain countries detracts from the readability of this answer. The English abbreviation of the European Economic Community, furthermore, is EEC.

    This answer lacks information about the strange oddity, that it is a violation of Swedish law for Swedish citizens to leave from Sweden directly to a non-EEC country without a proper passport, even if the destination country accepts Swedish id cards.

    @Tor-EinarJarnbjo Indeed, I'll add it. Also, for trivia, I'm working on an elaborate proposal of a proposition for the law to be modified to remove that restriction, which I'll send by regular mail to the Ministry of Justice (who's in charge of this law). That said, at least at Arlanda airport it's possible to trick the border police and effectively circumvent it if you know what you're doing

    @JonathanReezSupportsMonica Can emphatically not recommend it though for those unfamiliar with the rules and who's responsible for what, as many handling agents, especially in West Europe and above all in Scandinavia, don't get this aspect. As such what I do is email the handling agent at the departure airport in advance. If they say I can fly, all good. Otherwise, I contact the airline and ask them to insert an SSR CKIN. For Belavia, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines I have the internal emails of the docs control specialist units, while for Pegasus and UIA, the contact centre is helpful.
