the maintenance requirement

Moving to Sweden for love, or family? Cute. Bureaucracy? Less cute — but manageable.

When you apply for family reunification, Migrationsverket (the Swedish Migration Agency) checks something called the maintenance requirement (försörjningskravet).

In simple terms: Can you afford life in Sweden for the whole household?

This guide explains how much income you need, what counts as income, and when the rule may not apply.

citizenship: freedom to roam

For years, Sweden was seen as a country where settling long-term — and eventually becoming a citizen — was relatively straightforward.

That’s changed.

On 6 June 2026, the path to becoming a Swede became a whole lot tougher. New rules reshape who qualifies for citizenship, how long it takes, and what you need to prove along the way. The direction is clear: citizenship is no longer just about time spent in Sweden — it’s about demonstrating stability, integration, and self-sufficiency.

But these changes don’t affect everyone in the same way. Your path depends heavily on how you’re in Sweden in the first place. 

We take a look at how the new rules will affect different people.
