Sweden to tighten citizenship rules amid push to cut immigration

Successive governments have tightened immigration policies since 2015, when around 160,000 asylum seekers sought refuge in Sweden. But the minority coalition government is betting that an even more restrictive line on immigration will prove popular with voters in September’s parliamentary election. “These requirements are much tougher than the situation as it is today because currently there are basically no requirements (to become a citizen),” Migration Minister Johan Foell told reporters. “It seems reasonable that you should know whether Sweden is a monarchy or a republic, if you want to be a citizen,” Foell said. Anyone with a criminal record, either in Sweden or abroad, will have to wait longer before they can apply. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
