  • Law on accommodation for asylum seekers to be changed in two stages

    On 29 January, the Riksdag decided on a legislative change under Bill 1 “New arrangement for asylum seekers’ accommodation”. The legislative change will take place in two stages. The first stage will be introduced on 1 March and will affect new asylum seekers, and the second stage will be introduced on 1 September and will affect all asylum seekers living in their own accommodation. The reason is that the government wants to create a new arrangement for asylum seekers' accommodation, where the starting point is that asylum seekers will live at the Migration Agency's reception or return centres
