This summer, the possibility of permanent residence permits will disappear - and be replaced entirely by temporary ones. At the same time, a crucial question is left open before the elections.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal has been put forward in a draft bill and is proposed to take effect on July 12 this year, reports <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svt.se\/nyheter\/inrikes\/senaste-nytt-om-val-2026?inlagg=6f2b15d78659206831c3fc0a3e4bfd2b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SVT<\/a><\/strong>. This means changing the rules on how long you can stay in Sweden, and that permits will be reviewed to a greater extent instead of becoming permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Facts: Legislative consultation paper<\/strong><br>A legislative referral is a proposal for a new law that the government sends to the Legislative Council for review before it is submitted to Parliament.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Temporary permits become the main rule<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, most people first receive a temporary permit, but after a few years it has been possible to stay permanently. This possibility is now being removed for several groups, including refugees and others with protection reasons. People who have been allowed to stay for special reasons or through ties will also be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that permits no longer become permanent. Instead, they remain limited in time, and those who want to stay must reapply. Each time, a new assessment is made of whether the person still has grounds to remain in Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More may have to leave<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the permits expire, a new assessment is made. If the reasons no longer exist, the application may be rejected, which in turn may result in the person having to leave the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that more people may be subject to deportation over time, compared to previous systems where permanent permits provided stronger protection. At the same time, it means that the right to stay will be more clearly linked to whether the reasons still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One step - but not all the way<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal represents a clear shift forward and is seen as a step towards a tighter policy. At the same time, it only applies to new permits and does not affect those who already have permanent residence permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue of changing or withdrawing permanent permits already granted is not being decided now. That part has been postponed and will be addressed again after the elections, meaning that a large group is not affected by the change at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If approved by Parliament, the law is expected to enter into force on July 12. The change will make the rules clearer for new cases, while leaving much of the current system in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that the reform will have an impact in the future, but that more decisions and actions are needed before the whole system changes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Permanent residence permits end this summer - but the change only applies to new cases.
