Recent reports from the Swedish Migration Agency indicate a substantial decline in granted citizenships due to new government-ordered security checks. Citizenship approvals fell by 74% between March and April, dropping from 4,769 to 1,229. The agency concluded only 3,009 applications in April, a significant decrease from the 7,915 cases resolved in February. Despite predictions for future processing rates at 87,000 annually, the agency has now revised this estimate down to 64,000, attributing this change to the new security protocols and the effort to resolve older cases.
The sharp decline in granted citizenships by 74 percent, from 4,769 in March to 1,229 in April, highlights the significant impact of new security checks mandated by the Swedish government.
The Swedish Migration Agency's spokesperson indicated that the new measures to enhance security during citizenship processing will substantially slow down decision-making speeds, revising their expected figures for the future.
