Return –what happens then?

What happens if I have got a refusal (no) that cannot be appealed any more?


Then you and your custodian will be called to several meetings at the Swedish Migration Board. At these meetings you will talk together about travelling back to your home country or to another country that can receive you. You will talk about:
  • who will receive you.
  • that it should primarily be your parents that receive you, but that other relatives can do so too. For example grandparents or adult brothers or sisters. If there are no relatives you may have to travel to a children´s home.
  • that the Swedish Migration Board will help you if you travel back voluntarily.
  • that you and your custodian are responsible for providing the names and phone numbers of your parents or relatives, so the Swedish Migration Board can contact them.

Each time the conversation ends with a recap of what needs to be done next. Often you and your custodian will receive one or several tasks to perform before the next meeting.

How does a return work?


The Swedish Migration Board´s staff will make sure that an adult will travel with you from Sweden to the country you are travelling to.

What happens if I don´t want to travel home after the deportation decision?


The Swedish Migration Board only works with your return if you agree to travel back. If you don´t come when the Swedish Migration Board summons you or show that you will not comply
with your journey home, the Swedish Migration Board will hand your case over to the police.

What happens if my case is handed over to the police?


Then the police are responsible for you complying with the decision of the Swedish Migration Board and the court, in other words that you leave Sweden.

Can I go to school if my case is handed over to the police?


You have the right to go to school if your case is handed over to the police.

Am I entitled to health care if my case is handed over to the police?


You are entitled to health care as long as you remain in Sweden.

Before returning


It is a good idea to take with you:
  • certificates that prove you have attended school
  • any grades from school
  • vaccination certificates
  • addresses, email addresses and phone numbers to the people you want to contact at home.

If you want to and can...
... tell your friends, schoolmates, teachers and other important people that you are leaving Sweden.
