🇸🇪 Sweden considers revoking permanent residency

A new government inquiry proposes a law that could see up to 180,000 people in Sweden lose their permanent residency permits.

👥 Who’s affected?

Refugees, quota refugees, people with subsidiary protection, those granted permits under special laws (e.g., gymnasium law).

Not affected: people who moved to Sweden via work permits.

📌 What happens next?

Those losing permanent residency must apply for citizenship or temporary residence.

Expulsion is possible only if they cannot or will not apply.

Migration Minister Johan Forssell says most should not worry, as many will likely qualify to stay.

The proposal is highly controversial, as it questions rights already granted. If passed, the law would take effect January 1, 2027.

🇸🇪 Stricter Swedish Citizenship Rules Ahead

Sweden is preparing tougher requirements for citizenship. A government inquiry suggests:

Residency requirement: from 5 → 8 years (7 years for refugees & partners of Swedes).

Applicants must be self-sufficient with at least 7,000 SEK/month after tax.

Possible language & civic knowledge tests (not yet finalized).

👉 Implementation is expected by 2026, but the government may push for earlier.
⚠️ Applications already submitted could still be judged under the new rules, since the Migration Minister wants no transitional rules. This means even pending cases may be affected.

This creates major uncertainty for thousands waiting on decisions, as stricter requirements could apply retroactively.

🚨 Volvo under fire for handling sexual harassment case 🚨

An investigation revealed that a senior manager at Volvo Cars’ main factory in Gothenburg sexually harassed three Indian female employees. Despite multiple complaints of unsolicited touching and forced kissing, Volvo kept him in his role for months before quietly moving him to another high-ranking position.

The women, who have since left the company, say their complaints were upheld but that Volvo failed to act with its claimed “zero tolerance” policy. Critics argue the delay and decision to reassign—rather than remove—the manager shows a systemic failure in protecting employees and addressing workplace harassment.

This case raises serious questions about corporate accountability, workplace culture, and the treatment of international employees in Sweden.

🏠 Sweden’s Student Housing Crisis 2025 🇸🇪

Finding housing is becoming one of the toughest challenges for students in Sweden. According to the latest report from the Swedish National Union of Students (SFS), nearly 90% of new students are moving to cities where it takes more than a month to find a place to live.

📊 The numbers are alarming:
👉 66% of students live in cities where it can take over a whole semester to get proper accommodation.
👉 Another 21% risk spending much of their first semester searching for a place to stay.

🚨 The cities worst affected include:
🔴 Lund, Uppsala, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Umeå, Halmstad, Kiruna, and Visby.
In these cities, waiting times can stretch well beyond the first term, forcing many students into insecure second-hand rentals, temporary sublets, or even staying with friends.

📌 Examples from around Sweden:
🔹 Stockholm: Some students are turning down study places altogether due to the lack of housing. Long queues mean most first-year students have no chance of secure housing within months.
🔹 Gothenburg: Over 67,000 students compete for just 12,100 student homes. Queues range from 1.5 to 5 years.
🔹 Lund: With 22,000+ new students admitted this autumn, demand heavily outweighs supply. Many won’t get housing before the semester ends.
🔹 Uppsala: Conditions are still difficult, but recent renovations and priority queues for newcomers have made things slightly better.

📢 SFS Chair Rasmus Lindstedt:
“Two out of three students cannot count on having their own accommodation this year. This is unacceptable. Everyone who is eligible to study should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of finances or where they live.”

✅ While some smaller cities like Växjö, Kalmar, and Karlstad manage to offer faster access to housing, the reality is that most major university towns are struggling — leaving thousands of young people without stability at the start of their studies.
