Summary
Sweden’s government has proposed a bill requiring migrants to maintain an “honest living” standard, with failure to do so potentially leading to the revocation of residence permits and deportation.

The proposal targets behaviors such as unpaid debts, non-compliance with authorities, benefit fraud, tax evasion, and providing false information in residence applications. It would also allow permits to be revoked if individuals are deemed a threat to society.

While statements alone would not be sufficient evidence, they could be considered indicators of links to extremism. If approved by parliament, the law is expected to take effect on July 13.
