The Swedish government intends to tighten the conditions of
immigration based on family ties. To this end, it has created a
commission to comprehensively study the issue, the government
office reports, Azernews reports.
Last autumn, changes were made to the migration legislation
restricting the possibility of foreign citizens moving to Sweden
for permanent residence on the basis of family ties. However, as
noted in the press release, the kingdom's legislation and its
international obligations remain more generous compared to EU
requirements.
"The large-scale migration of recent years, combined with lame
integration, has contributed to serious problems with growing
isolation. The revision and further tightening of conditions for
family migration is an important link in correcting the situation
and ensuring a responsible, strict and sustainable migration policy
for the long term," commented Migration Minister Maria Malmer
Steenergaard.
The revision of the rules for granting residence permits to
foreign relatives in the direction of tightening involves the
introduction of a requirement for material self-sufficiency, as
well as other changes. It is possible to use DNA analysis to
establish a biological relationship. In its work, the government
commission should be guided by the existing EU requirements and
ensure that the proposed measures do not go beyond them.
