Sweden has announced stricter income requirements for individuals seeking citizenship, as part of broader efforts to strengthen integration and ensure new citizens are financially self-sufficient.
Under the revised policy, applicants will now be required to meet higher earnings thresholds before they can qualify for Swedish nationality. Authorities say the move is aimed at promoting economic stability and encouraging successful integration into Swedish society.
The decision forms part of a wider reform agenda focused on migration and citizenship, with the government stressing that financial independence is a key factor in building a cohesive and sustainable nation.
The new rules are expected to affect thousands of prospective applicants and have already sparked debate among migrant communities and human rights groups.
