"The goal is to reduce asylum-related immigration to sustainable levels in order to create better conditions for integration and to reduce exclusion."
"The bill will also do other things aimed at tightening Sweden's asylum rules to the EU's legal minimum level, including lowering the age limit for taking fingerprints and photographs to six years old."
"SULF has pointed out, the groups excluded include many Swiss citizens, for whom LTR is the only route to permanent residency for those without a Swedish partner."
"Many university researchers, lecturers and PhD students use the LTR route, as EU rules, unlike Swedish rules, allow them to use funding or grants."
Sweden's government is advancing a bill to eliminate permanent residency for future applicants, including those with Long Term Residence (LTR) status. This change will affect asylum seekers and foreign researchers, who will instead receive LTR permits requiring renewal every five years. Permanent residency will be limited to specific groups, such as former work permit holders and doctoral researchers. The government aims to reduce asylum-related immigration and improve integration conditions. The bill also proposes stricter asylum rules, including lowering the age for fingerprinting and limiting legal rights for asylum seekers.
