Sweden’s shift toward more restrictive immigration policies is significantly impacting young people who arrived as unaccompanied minors years ago. Many, like those who fled Afghanistan and have spent nearly a decade integrating into Swedish society, now face deportation orders despite being employed and fluent in the language. The current government’s focus on reducing migration through stricter work permit requirements and incentivized returns has created a precarious situation for thousands who previously benefited from education-based residency laws but now struggle to meet new, rigid permanent residency criteria.
- Sweden has transitioned from offering permanent residency to primarily issuing temporary permits, complicating the legal status of many long-term residents.
- Thousands of young adults who arrived as unaccompanied minors are facing deportation despite having spent their formative years integrating into Swedish culture.
- Under previous legislation like the “Upper Secondary School Act,” students could stay to study, but they must now secure specific full-time employment to avoid deportation.
- The current Swedish administration, with support from the Sweden Democrats, is prioritizing “voluntary returns” and has increased the income threshold for work-based residency.
- Local employers in sectors such as healthcare and forestry report a need for labor, yet integrated workers in these fields continue to face removal from the country.

Well done sweden
What exactly is the law can someone tell me ?
Who is destabilizing the Middle East?
Go To Spain 🇪🇸
It’s ok to enact laws. But giving false hope is a tragedy
Sweden has been a very liberal country but the previous generations did not socially integrate. They brought it on themselves
lmao bye
Unfair and inhuman
The law is the law and introduced because they were abused. Good on Sweden,
Everyone should stay and develop their own country. Aging population of Western countries is not an Asian problem. They should not invite young people from Asia to work and pay taxes so that these old people can continue to get the social benefits.
Even Fox News clowns would have done a better video explaining the rule in question.
Instead of focusing on deportations of criminals, the media is criticizing the new system that Swedes voted for by emphasizing a few seemingly unfair stories. There should be some kind of appeal but no one is exempted from rules simply because they seem like a good person. That's emotional manipulation
Oh no, anyway last night I found out I had run out of chips
Deported = X; Returned = check! They should be labeled as returnees not deportees. Returnees is more politically correct.
Good! ❤❤❤
It’s unfair to deport young people who grew up there. That’s the only home they know.
Where's the video on the rise of rapes, knife attacks and lawlessness which correlate with the rise of immigration?
But when you're banging the 'global drum' … offering the viewer a balanced report by showing all sides of the argument doesn't fit the narrative the likes of DW News promote.
