Children born to Foreign parents can become Swedish Citizens if a parent has lived in Sweden for Five years, a Swedish Government enquiry has revealed.
The Report has been submitted to the Government on Monday.
Story:
The parent must also have been registered as a legal resident in Sweden and hold a valid residence permit.
The inquiry also suggests that immigrants who learn the language to a certain level of proficiency, such as passing the highest level of Swedish for immigrants language classes, can qualify for citizenship one year earlier than they can today, Gunnar Strömmer, the author of the inquiry’s findings, wrote in an opinion article published in the Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper.
The report will be submitted to the government on Monday.
Strömmer added that foreign-born parents who fulfill the requirements but don’t want their children to automatically become Swedish citizens could apply to prevent it from happening.
Today, children born in Sweden to parents who aren’t Swedish citizens assume the citizenship of their parents.
“It’s desirable that all children who are born in Sweden and who are expected to grow up here should also be citizens here,” Strömmer wrote in DN.
