Stockholm is hoping to make amends for runaway asylum numbers over the past decade by revamping rules on family reunification in another sign of the Swedish Democrats’ influence on policy.
The reforms are ostensibly aimed at attracting workers from the Western Balkans yet could lead to a new round of chain migration from non-EU countries.
Nearly 180,000 non-EU citizens received residence permits for family reasons in 2022.
To gain Spanish residency, foreign women are reportedly flying to Spain on tourist visas and abandoning their children, who later claim to be unaccompanied minor refugees in an effort to take advantage of Spain’s family reunification policy.
