(The Guardian)Sweden confirms 458 Britons deported or forcibly removed since Brexit
Release Date
2026-09-05
Media
The Guardian
Summary
Sweden has confirmed that 458 British citizens have been deported or forcibly removed since Brexit after failing to secure post-Brexit residence status. Some had lived in Sweden for decades, including a man who arrived at age 10 and elderly residents.
Of 14,233 post-Brexit residence applications submitted by 2024, nearly 4,000 were rejected, a refusal rate far above the EU average. Critics argue that Sweden applies late-application rules too strictly, while the government maintains that it has followed the law. The controversy highlights the tension between immigration compliance and protecting the lives and family ties of long-term residents.
