Sweden Backs Stricter Residency Rules With ‘Good Behaviour’ Law

New legislation allows authorities to strip migrants’ residence permits over unpaid debts, illegal work, and links to extremist groups.

Sweden’s parliament has approved a new law allowing authorities to revoke residence permits from ‘badly behaved’ migrants.

The legislation, passed by the Riksdag on Monday, June 15th, enables the Swedish Migration Agency to withdraw both pending and already granted residence permits if a foreigner is deemed to have engaged in misconduct. The new rules will enter into force on July 13th.


Even Sweden is waking up. Canada not so much.
