Sweden is getting stricter on immigration policy

It is with responsibility that the newly elected government of Sweden is going to make a decision to impose extensive strictures on the immigration policy. In addition to making Swedish language education mandatory for citizenship, regulations regarding work permits are also becoming stricter. In this situation, many expatriate Bangladeshis who hope to immigrate to Sweden are worried.

Last week, Sweden's far-right coalition won 176 of the 349 seats in parliament to form a government. Right-wing coalition leader Wolf Kristerson was elected Prime Minister of the coalition government consisting of Moderates, Christ Democrats and Liberal parties. The names of the cabinet members have also been announced.

After coming to power, the newly elected government of Sweden promised to bring about major changes in policies including the opportunity of permanent residence for immigrants from different countries of the world. However, since the beginning, there have been disagreements between the parties in the alliance on various issues. One of the alliance's partner parties, known as anti-immigration 'Sweden Democrats', has the opportunity to influence the Kristersson government in many ways by indirectly supporting the government in this election.

However, there has been talk of tougher immigration within the coalition parties. In addition to making Swedish language education mandatory for obtaining citizenship, the regulations regarding work permits are going to be stricter. Apart from this, the new government of the country is planning to quickly send illegal immigrants back to their country. In this situation, many expatriate Bangladeshis who are looking for permission to live in Sweden are worried.

 The country's political analysts have expressed apprehension about the implementation of many laws in the parties of the coalition government.
