Return – what happens then?

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


Then your parents will be called to two different meetings about returning at the Swedish Migration Board. At these meetings they will talk about travelling back to your home country or to another country that can receive you. If you and your parents want you to, you can attend this meeting.

Your parents are responsible for you leaving Sweden. They must book tickets for the journey. If they cannot arrange tickets they can get help from the Swedish Migration Board.

The first meeting about returning ends with the staff at the Swedish Migration Board going over what you should do before the next meeting. Usually your parents will receive one or several tasks to solve. This could be filling in information for travel documents, contacting the embassy of your home country, getting photographs, etc. The staff may also investigate certain things that they will present at the next meeting.

What happens before we leave?


You will be summoned to the Swedish Migration Board a few days before you travel. Then you will talk about when and how you will travel, your luggage and other things regarding your journey. If you have stayed in one of the Swedish Migration Board´s flats you will find out what needs to be done before you leave it.

How does a return with the Swedish Migration Board work?


It depends on where you are travelling from and what kind of journey it is whether you travel to the airport on your own or with staff from the Swedish Migration Board. The type of journey is decided by whether you have passports or need temporary travel documents. If you are travelling from an airport in Sweden and have a passport no authorities need to be involved, neither in Sweden nor in your home country.

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


The Swedish Migration Board only works with your return if your parents 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 our 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.
 

Do I have the right to health care if my case is handed over to the police?


You have the right 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.
