In April, Sweden's Migration Agency granted only six citizenship applications through naturalization, marking a sharp decline from 3,234 in March. This drop occurred due to new security checks required for in-person identification after an April 1st government order. While 1,120 notifications (primarily for children and Nordic nationals) were processed, standard cases were halted. Migration Minister Johan Forssell had earlier stated that work permit holders and low-risk nationals would not face delays. The agency is currently poised to start handling in-person checks pending an official directive from the director general.
The Migration Agency experienced an unprecedented decline in citizenship approvals, with only six naturalisation cases granted in April compared to 3,234 in March due to new security checks.
Despite Migration Minister Johan Forssell's prior assurances that work permit holders wouldn't face delays, the new security measures froze standard citizenship applications across all nationalities.
