Sweden tightens immigration rules with a new 'good behaviour' law
Sweden’s parliament approved a law allowing authorities to revoke immigrants’ residency permits for “bad behavior” such as unpaid debts, undeclared work, or links to extremist organisations; the measure applies to pending permits and retroactively to ones already granted. Decisions would be reviewed by the Migration Agency and can be appealed to a migration court. Critics say the rule creates uncertainty and undermines equality before the law, while the government argues it targets those who fail to behave properly ahead of a September election.
