Sweden experienced a significant slowdown in the approval of citizenship applications due to a temporary freeze on naturalisation cases, tied to new security checks. In May, only nine applications were approved, sharply contrasting with the average of over 4,200 approvals per month from January to March. While naturalisation cases faced delays, other citizenship routes continued to process applications. The Migration Agency is working to improve processing speed in light of these changes, and full statistics for June are expected mid-July.
In May, Sweden approved only nine citizenship applications through naturalisation, reflecting significant delays amidst a temporary freeze on processing due to enhanced security checks.
During the freeze, the Migration Agency faced difficulties in processing cases, leading to a dramatic decline from over 4,200 approvals per month earlier this year.
