The Migration Agency has resumed approving Swedish citizenship applications, approving 759 naturalisation cases in June. This is a positive shift compared to only 15 approvals in April and May. However, approval rates are still below normal, as the average in January-March was over 4,200 per month. In addition, 678 notification cases, 30 applications for retaining citizenship, and 34 citizenship declarations were approved in June. The slowdown earlier this year was due to the implementation of new security checks, which affected processing times for all nationalities.
In June, Sweden approved a total of 759 citizenship applications through naturalisation, showing progress after a significant decrease in approvals earlier this year.
The processing of applications has improved since the citizenship freeze in spring, although June's approvals are still below the monthly average of over 4,200.
Naturalisation cases, which are standard applications by adult foreigners seeking Swedish citizenship, made up the vast majority of cases approved in June.
The Migration Agency experienced a two-month freeze on naturalisation applications due to delays in establishing security checks required for the new identification process.
