Starting June 6th, new requirements for Swedish citizenship will be implemented, including an extended residency period of eight years for most applicants. Certain groups, like refugees, may apply after seven years. Applicants must demonstrate an 'upstanding way of life,' with behavior assessments now considering actions both in Sweden and abroad. The waiting period after a criminal conviction will also increase, with a 15-year wait for those sentenced to four years in prison. These changes significantly tighten the criteria for obtaining Swedish citizenship.
