The Swedish Migration Agency revised its forecast for citizenship applications in 2025 from 65,000 to 63,000 due to new government orders affecting processing capabilities. While previously predicting to handle 87,000 applications annually until a decline to 43,000 in 2027, the agency's ability to meet this target is now uncertain, largely influenced by tougher security checks aimed at preventing individuals posing security threats from gaining citizenship. Major reforms, including longer residency requirements and increased application fees, are anticipated but will take effect later, adding further complexity to the situation.
The Migration Agency revealed a revised prediction of 63,000 citizenship applications for 2025 due to government directives impacting processing speeds and security checks.
In a revised forecast, Swedish authorities anticipate increased complexity in processing citizenship applications, potentially due to tougher measures ordered by the government.
