The Swedish government is considering reintroducing a good behaviour requirement for immigrants applying for residence permits, similar to the regulations in place before 2005. This requirement will redefine how foreigners are evaluated under migration law, with an emphasis on 'vandel', or moral conduct. A legal definition of vandel would classify acceptable behavior standards, ensuring compliance with Swedish laws. This requirement affects both initial applications and existing permits, scrutinizing applicants for a range of behaviors including financial irresponsibility and ties to criminal organizations.
The inquiry proposed reintroducing the good behaviour requirement which existed in Swedish migration law prior to 2005, specifying that foreigners with bristande vandel would no longer qualify for a permit.
The new requirement could be used both when deciding whether a permit should be granted and whether an existing permit should be revoked, looking at the applicant's overall behavior.
Officials are looking to provide a legal definition of vandel that emphasizes living in an honest and responsible manner, complying with Sweden’s laws and values.
Examples of flawed behavior include unwillingness to pay debts, misusing the welfare system, and connections to criminal networks, which will affect visa applications.
