The Swedish Migration Agency anticipates a return to approving standard citizenship applications shortly, following a pause necessitated by new in-person security checks. The agency has been unable to process applications for over a month and has stated that only a formal directive from the director general is needed to resume activities. All applicants will be required to appear in person for ID checks at designated offices, though exemptions for biometric passport holders are not yet implemented due to technical issues. The timeline for these processes remains uncertain but is expected to advance soon.
"As soon as the director general has signed a formal directive the details of which are still being ironed out they'll be able to get things up and running in a matter of days."
"It was initially reported that certain nationalities with biometric passports would be exempt and would instead be able to confirm their identity digitally via the Freja app, but the technological solution for that isn't yet in place."
