The Swedish government has given its migration agency an expanded mandate to collaborate with police and embassies on new procedures for tracking and investigating asylum seekers’ travel to their countries of origin. The initiative aims to make the process more efficient by improving information sharing between agencies. The agencies have been asked to deliver a joint report by July 1, 2025.
A Novus survey for the news magazine Bulletin in 2022 found that 79% of immigrants who came to Sweden as refugees have at least once traveled back to their country of origin for a vacation.
