You cannot choose what country will examine your appli­ca­tion for asylum (the Dublin Regu­la­tion)

According to the Dublin Regulation, a person who flees to Europe must seek protection in the first safe country that he or she comes to.

When you apply for asylum in Sweden, the Migration Agency begins by investigating whether it is Sweden or another EU country that is responsible for handling your application for asylum. If you have received a visa to enter another EU country, have certain types of residence permit in another EU country, or have applied for international protection (asylum) in another EU country on your way to Sweden, you may need to go back to that EU country. These rules can be found in the Dublin Regulation.  

The Dublin Regulation was changed on 1 January 2014. Below is information on where you can read more about the rules that apply to those who applied for asylum in Sweden after 1 January 2014. There are four brochures that inform you about different parts of the Dublin Regulation.
