Swedish Migration Agency promises improved services for family members of Swedes living abroad
As of 12 January, the Migration Agency is promising that fully completed digital applications by family members of Swedes living abroad who want to move back will be processed within 90 days.
To ensure an efficient service with shorter waiting times, a single unit will take charge of all such matters.
– To be able to increase the share of complete applications we are improving our services early in the application process, says Sandra Grönberg, who heads the unit.
Last year, the Government assigned the Swedish Migration Agency the task of putting together and implementing more efficient methods of processing applications from family members of Swedes living abroad. The effort led to significantly shorter waiting times.
– Thanks to our success in carrying out the Government’s assignment, we are now in the enviable position of being able to make and keep this promise to family members of Swedes living abroad, says Ann-Kari Olsson, head of the section at Region Nord that managed the assignment.
