Migration Agency: Citizenship applicants may be able to wait for new language and civics tests

New, stricter requirements for Swedish citizenship come into force on June 6th, without transition rules for those currently waiting for a decision. They include new rules that applicants will in general have to have lived in Sweden for longer, and also prove that they have knowledge about Sweden and the Swedish language. But Sweden's Migration Agency tells Radio Sweden that applicants who don’t have grades proving their knowledge may have their applications paused, until new citizenship tests are ready to be taken — listen to find out more.

Report: Foreign-born pensioners receive thousands of kronor less every month

The difference in pension between those born abroad and those born in Sweden has increased significantly in recent decades, according to a new report by insurance provider Folksam. For people born in 1957 abroad, the difference amounts to almost SEK 5,700 in their pension as a whole per month before tax compared to those born in Sweden. For people born in 1937, the corresponding difference was only SEK 650 per month. Listen to one of the representatives from the insurance company behind the report and the head of Sweden's pensions agency to hear what's driving the pensions gap.

Sweden’s ‘94 World Cup anthem gets a next-gen reboot

The children of GES, the trio behind Sweden's best loved World Cup football anthem, "När Vi Gräver Guld i USA", have made a new version of their fathers' 1994 hit song to mark Sweden's return to American soil for the 2026 World Cup later this month. Thirty-two years ago, "När Vi Gräver Guld i USA" or, "When We Dig For Gold in the USA", provided a popular backdrop to Sweden's best ever World Cup on foreign soil, when they finished third. Listen to Julia Glenmark, Kid Eriksson and Simon Strömstedt talk to Radio Sweden about the reworked anthem and why their fathers' original is still so popular today.

Citizenship: Greens make new bid for a transition rules re-vote — through a special motion

The Greens are still trying to get a re-vote on the question of transition rules for the government's new citizenship reforms, set to come in effect on June 6. The controversy around the vote on transition rules — which saw two paired-out Sweden Democrat MPs vote in the chamber, causing the opposition's motion to be voted down — led to the collapse of the pairing agreement between Sweden's political parties. Now the Greens are reportedly planning to file what's known as a "motion arising out of an occurrence of major significance" — listen to hear what that means.
