'We can go elsewhere': Skilled workers question future in Sweden over citizenship reforms
"This has been a huge disruption in our plans, our lives. If our cases are handled before June 6th, we will be eligible for citizenship in Sweden."
"What is being done right now is against what our understanding of what Swedish culture is. In Swedish work culture, we have lots of meetings, lots of preparation."
Chandra and Vibha, a family living in Sweden since 2018, are concerned about new citizenship rules that will apply retroactively to their applications. They applied for citizenship in February 2025, but if their cases are reviewed after the new laws take effect on June 6th, they risk rejection. Vibha expressed that the changes have disrupted their lives, while Chandra criticized the lack of transparency in the process, contrasting it with Swedish work culture that values preparation and clear expectations.
