(The Guardian)Briton threatened with deportation from Sweden over Brexit rules goes into hiding
Release Date
2026-10-17
Media
The Guardian
Summary
Mark Smith, a 60-year-old British man who has lived in Sweden since 2017, faces deportation despite serious health conditions. He claims Swedish tax authorities repeatedly told him no additional residency procedures were necessary after Brexit. However, Sweden required British residents to apply formally for post-Brexit residence status. His application was rejected, forcing him and his wife into hiding amid fears of deportation.
Sweden has reportedly deported 458 British nationals since Brexit, raising concerns about the treatment of elderly and vulnerable residents. Campaigners argue that Sweden's approach violates the spirit of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, which requires reasonable consideration of late applications and proportionate decisions. The UK government has raised concerns with Swedish authorities and the European Commission, although the Commission has not found Sweden in breach of the agreement.
