The Swedish state intends to abolish the permanent residence rights for asylum seekers.
This was reported by the TASS agency.
According to the information, the government representative stated in an official announcement that from now on migrants will only be granted temporary residence permits.
The new draft law has already been sent to the relevant authorities. The official statement emphasizes that the main goal is to stabilize asylum-related migration, facilitate the integration process into society, and prevent cases of social isolation.
Currently, temporary residence permits are granted only to those in need of protection. However, after some time, some migrants—for example, those in severe conditions or temporary permit holders who cannot be removed from the country due to reasons obstructing the enforcement of court decisions—can acquire permanent residence rights.
The prepared draft law is expected to come into force on July 12, 2026. /oxu.az
