Sweden to pay refugees up to 350,000 kronor to return home
Briefly

The right-wing government in Sweden announced that by 2026, immigrants who choose to return to their home countries can receive up to 350,000 kronor. This substantial increase from the current maximum of 10,000 kronor per adult is aimed at offering financial support for voluntary repatriation, amidst rising anti-immigration sentiment and pressure on the government to reduce migration rates.
The existing scheme provides only 10,000 kronor to adult migrants and 5,000 kronor for children, capping at 40,000 kronor for an entire family. This dramatic financial shift seeks to incentivize more migrants to return home, reflecting the current government's alignment with the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, who are influential in shaping this policy.
