Summary
Sweden plans to introduce an “honest living” requirement for residence permits, allowing authorities to consider minor offences, debt, or alleged extremist links when granting or renewing status. Critics argue the vague criteria could make decisions unpredictable, restrict rights such as freedom of expression, and increase the risk of discrimination and deportation.
