🇸🇪 Coming Soon: Citizenship Tests in Sweden — Are You Ready? 🇸🇪

Sweden is moving closer to introducing language and civics tests for those applying for citizenship — a plan first proposed back in 2019 and now set to become reality by August 2026.

Here’s what we know so far 👇
📘 Two digital tests – one in Swedish language (B1 level) and another in basic civics about democracy, Swedish society, and everyday life.
💰 Cost: Around 2,500 SEK total (2,000 for Swedish + 500 for civics).
♻️ You can retake the tests if you fail.
🚫 Required for ages 16–66, with limited exemptions.
📚 Some existing courses like SFI D or Komvux civics may count as equivalents — but that’s still under discussion.

The government aims to roll out the first test by August 17, 2026, though universities developing the exams say the timeline is too tight.

💬 What do you think — should Sweden require citizenship tests like these, or is it an unnecessary hurdle for immigrants who already live and work here?

🇸🇪 Should Sweden ban social media for kids under 15? 👀📱

Sweden’s Social Democrat party has proposed a bold move — banning under-15s from social media apps as part of a plan to make the internet safer. The proposal includes:
🔹 A strict ID requirement for all accounts to enforce the age limit
🔹 Stronger protection against deep fakes, giving people ownership of their voices and images
🔹 A national cyber police unit to tackle online hate and digital crime

Party leader Magdalena Andersson says the goal is to “protect children and young people from addictive algorithms” and promote accountability online.

💬 What do you think — is this a necessary step to protect youth, or too extreme? Should Sweden lead the way with this kind of law?

🇸🇪 Confused about permanent residency in Sweden? You’re not alone!
There are several types of “permanent” residence statuses — and each depends on your citizenship and reason for living in Sweden.

🇸🇪 Sweden May Revoke 120,000 Permanent Residence Permits

After a two-year inquiry, a new proposal could lead to automatic cancellation of up to 120,000 permanent residence permits in Sweden. Those affected would either need to apply for citizenship, switch to temporary residency, or leave the country.

Sweden Democrats’ immigration spokesperson Ludvig Aspling — who’s worked on this idea since 2016 — says he’s “very satisfied” with the report and confident it will become law before next year’s election.

The proposal, led by former judge Josephine Boswell, argues that although Swedish law traditionally prevents retroactive revocations, a new law could override that.

Aspling even claims his own wife could lose her PR, saying only those who originally got residence through work permits might keep it. Critics, however, argue the report doesn’t clearly support that interpretation.

If passed, the law would mainly impact people with criminal convictions, those who got residence through now-defunct rules (like the “high school law”), or who stayed due to deportation obstacles.

⚖️ Aspling believes legal challenges won’t stop the reform, asserting that Parliament’s decision would stand firm under Swedish law.
