If you will turn 18 soon
According to Swedish law you become of age — an adult — when you turn 18. This means that you are no longer a child. You will be summoned to a “turning 18 meeting".
Your case will be transferred to a Case Officer who meets adult asylum seekers. This means that you will be responsible for managing your contact with the Swedish Migration Board.
You are responsible for your finances after you turn 18. At the meeting you will receive information about how the daily allowance works.
Your accommodation is no longer the responsibility of the social services. If you need help with
accommodation you can stay at one of the Swedish Migration Board´s accommodation centres. These are flats that the Swedish Migration Board rents in certain locations in Sweden. You won´t be able to choose the location. You can arrange your accommodation yourself, for example with relatives or friends.
Your custodian´s mandate has now ended. You are now responsible instead. You must stay in touch with your public counsel and the Swedish Migration Board.
The rules for health care change. You will receive emergency treatment and treatment that cannot wait. It is the staff at the hospital or care centre that assess whether you receive treatment.
If there is a decision that you are to return to your home country, now no-one has to receive you in your home country. This means that you can travel home without an adult having to receive you.
