Sweden has adopted stricter rules for obtaining citizenship, significantly changing the criteria for foreign applicants.

The Swedish parliament voted on the new law with 258 votes in favor and 33 against.

Under the changes, applicants must have lived in Sweden for at least eight years before applying for citizenship, three years more than the previous rules required.

For the first time, the country is also introducing a mandatory citizenship test, which includes knowledge of the Swedish language and society.

A new economic criterion has also been introduced: applicants must have a minimum annual income of around 241,000 Swedish kronor (approximately $22,000).

The new rules will enter into force on June 6 and will also apply to previously submitted applications, affecting a significant number of people in the process.

This development comes at a time when several European countries are tightening migration and asylum policies.

In Finland, a law has been proposed to accelerate the deportation of rejected asylum seekers, while in Germany a significant decline in asylum applications has been reported during 2025.

In contrast, Spain is considering legalizing around 500,000 illegal immigrants, showing different approaches within the European Union to the issue of migration.
