Briefly

The proposed Swedish citizenship tests originate from a 2019 initiative by the Social Democrat government, with findings reported in early 2021. The tests comprise a digital language assessment at B1 level for listening and reading, and a lower requirement of A2 for speaking and writing. The civics component assesses applicants' understanding of Swedish society, focusing on topics like democracy, historical events, welfare structures, and the legal system. The specific content of the civics test is still under development, but it aims to facilitate integration by ensuring that new citizens possess basic knowledge of Sweden.
The proposed Swedish citizenship tests include a digital language test at B1 level and a civics test addressing various critical topics, proposed since 2019.
