Sweden has implemented new security measures for citizenship applications, resulting in mandatory in-person identity checks. The Migration Agency sent out over 2,000 letters to applicants inviting them to book these checks, causing nearly a two-month delay in processing applications. Each applicant has eight weeks to respond to the letter or risk denial of their application. This initiative, pushed by the government and the Sweden Democrats, is accompanied by a detailed questionnaire aimed at ensuring individuals with potential security threats or false identities do not receive citizenship.
The new ID checks for Swedish citizenship applications, mandated by the Migration Agency, have led to significant delays in processing, with over 2,000 letters finally sent out for appointments.
Due to the lack of established procedures, the Migration Agency was unable to approve any naturalisation cases for nearly two months, highlighting issues in implementing new security measures.
Swedish citizenship applicants must book their appointments within eight weeks of receiving a letter, or risk denial of their applications, emphasizing the strict timeline imposed by the new measures.
The current heightened security checks, including an 11-page questionnaire, are part of the government's effort to prevent individuals posing a threat to security from gaining citizenship.
