New proposal to make children born in Sweden by foreign parents to become Swedish citizens
Monday, 29 April 2013
A new
proposal in the Swedish policy systems is that to make children born in
Sweden of foreign parents to automatically become Swedish citizens.
According to
Swedish television news, Children born in Sweden of foreign parents
will automatically become Swedish citizens if one parent is registered
here at least for five years and have a residence permit, suggest a
review of the Citizenship after a survey.
Immigrants who
learned the language to a certain level, for example, has passed the
highest course in the Swedish for immigrants language to become Swedes,
a year earlier than today, the investigator to Swedish daily, Dagens
Nyehter reports Swedish television. The report will be submitted to the
government on Monday.
The
investigator Gunnar Strömmer suggests that the foreign parent who
qualify but do not want their child to be Swedish can apply for to
avoid that. Today, children born in Sweden by foreign parents
maintain their foreign parents' nationality even if they are born here.
"For the
sake of connectedness, it is desirable that all children born in
Sweden, and that are expected to grow up in the country, should be
allowed to become citizens here," writes Strömmer.
Language bonus
that leads to quicker citizenship is meant to encourage those who want
to be Swedish to learn the language as quickly as possible. Those who
succeed can shorten their waiting time to four years, or three if the
applicant is stateless or a refugee. Bonus scheme are not applicable to
Nordic people who already have shorter application time.
