Sweden's Ministry of Migration has announced revisions to
its immigration legislation, including limits on exemptions from financial
support requirements for family immigration and the elimination of provisions
awarding residency permits based on disturbing circumstances.
By modifying the Aliens Act, the country increased the age restriction for rejecting residence permits based on familial ties from 18 to 21 years.
The initiative aims to prevent forced marriages and to
increase protection for vulnerable people, particularly youth. To address Sweden's
growing social isolation and significant immigration in recent years, minors
will now be eligible for permits, even if their circumstances are not as
serious as adults.
According to the Ministry of Justice, Sweden's migration policy will undergo strict reforms to build a sustainable and
balanced strategy. The reforms are intended to promote inclusion while
protecting vulnerable individuals. To deter immigration, Sweden is also
limiting social benefits for non-EU migrants. The government intends to
implement reforms requiring non-EU migrants to learn Swedish and apply
for jobs in the country's labour market, which is experiencing a labour deficit.
Sweden's aim to develop a more inclusive and sustainable migration system is
reflected in the revisions.
