Swedish Citizenship

Swedish citizenship constitutes a legal contract between the State and the citizen. Citizenship strengthens your affinity with Sweden and unites the Swedish people.
Being a formal member of society is a foundation of Swedish democracy.

Swedish citizenship can bring benefits such as:

• Only Swedish citizens have an absolute right to live and work in the country
• Only Swedish citizens have the right to vote in the elections for the Swedish Parliament.
• Only Swedish citizens can be elected to the Swedish Parliament.
• Only Swedish citizens may join the police or armed forces.
• As a Swedish citizen, you will find it easier if you wish to work in other EU Member States.

Sweden has the third most powerful passport in the world as it provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 187 countries.
