Following recent attacks on Iran by Israel, there has been a marked increase in visa extension applications from Iranians in Sweden. The Swedish Migration Agency categorized this influx as a special incident, highlighting the urgency faced by applicants. Many Iranians currently in Sweden—whether tourists, students, or workers—find that their permits are expiring and travel back to Iran is unfeasible due to closed airspace and airports. While the agency reports processing a modest number of extensions, the current crisis has prompted swift action for those seeking to remain in the country during these tumultuous times.
"We have seen a significant increase in applications for visa extensions from Iranian citizens following the recent escalation of conflict. Many feel they have no other options."
"The Swedish Migration Agency is treating this situation as a special incident due to the unexpected nature and the urgency it presents for those affected. We are working to process these requests as quickly as possible."
