The Swedish parliament is set to vote on citizenship reforms on April 29, following a meeting of the Social Insurance Committee on April 14. A key minority reservation from the centre-left opposition seeks transitional rules for applicants before the new legislation. The reforms will take effect on June 6, introducing new requirements for applicants, including language and civics knowledge. The government has postponed the implementation of language tests until October 2027 and civics tests until August 2026, leaving some details about the application process unclear.
