Sweden’s government announced on Thursday that it will significantly increase grants for immigrants who voluntarily return to their home countries, aiming to encourage more migrants to do so.

Starting in 2026, immigrants who choose to return will be eligible for up to 350,000 Swedish kronor ($34,000), according to the right-wing government ed by the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats.

“We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our migration policy,” Migration Minister Johan Forssell said at a press conference.

Currently, immigrants can receive up to 10,000 kronor per adult and 5,000 kronor per child, with a maximum of 40,000 kronor per family.

“This grant has been available since 1984, but it is relatively unknown, small, and used by few people,” Ludvig Aspling of the Sweden Democrats noted.

Aspling added that increased awareness of the grant and its larger size would likely lead to more people accepting the offer.

The announcement came despite a recent government-appointed probe advising against a significant increase, arguing that the expected benefits did not justify the potential costs.

Conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who assumed office in 2022 with a minority coalition ed by the Sweden Democrats, has pledged to address immigration and crime.

Sweden has welcomed many migrants since the 1990s from conflict-ridden countries such as the former Yugoslavia, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, and Iraq, but has faced challenges integrating them.

WOW.... Up Sweden!

The problem is the immigrants are likely to take the money and then go to another country from there to maybe become that country's problem. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They will still scrutinize everything.

I'm just pitting Africa country Nigeria particularly. You see the whole Europe and western world are rejecting immigrants and restructuring their country. But Africa leaders seems less concerned.

If trump win this election the matter will be more intensify.

That's a great ROI for illegal immigrants who spent far less than $35K to reach Sweden.

They can easily enter any other EU country and continue life there.

Or Sweden can make alliances with other countries trying to fight the immigration problems. Sweden could provide those countries with information on those who have been previously paid under its own program.

I am sure they will put a chip in you like U.S. does. Nothing is free

You really think the FBI would not have a list of those who have accepted the offer ready to turn them back at the border should they attempt to enter?

Nothing goes for nothing, there is always a prize to pay

Is Sweden becoming uninclusive and unaccommodating to foreigners? Conservatism is sweeping across the world.

Well, sweet deal if you ask me anyway.

I suspect something is coming...

Nothing's coming. The talks on diversity seems an experiment to a very large degree, and its outcome hasn't done much. The privileged perceive their advantages being preyed on—foreigners competing strongly with the locals. Plus most will always gravitate towards theirs, and especially when the locals are even more privileged, they tend to look down on others. Ireland telling Blacks to leave. Sweden paying. UK telling migrant Arabs to leave. South Africa descending on us with xenophobia. Arabs don't even look friendly from afar. Racism in most others. And so on.

They said "up to $34k" meaning that most deportees wouldn't get anything close to that, since it's the upper limit... besides it's probably for those with large families leaving together.

Fake news

No they can't. Swedes are not dumb.

The money will probably be deposited to your days after it is confirmed your flight have landed out of the Schengen zone.

Also, it will be given to migrants with immigration records in Sweden, eg failed asylum seekers, and even legal residents like the Muslims they hate to much.

The program is not available for temporary residents like those on student permit and work permit. Those kinds of permit are dead end and doesn't leads to permanent residency.

With this cash program, Sweden is targeting immigrants with long-term legal residency, even those with permanent one. They will cancel your peemit after you've left.

You cant just enter Sweden from let's say Finland, and tell them you want the money to go home. Them no go answer you.

That is the problem with these immigrants they have refused to believe in themselves! I have never seen set of people suffer inferiority complex Like that


That money when converted to Nigeria is about 55 million and can set up one a business for life in the country

these immigrants don't think deep...it's Japa Japa is always in their mind to go work hourly wages

Lol....the 350k kronor is probably unattainable. As stated in the op, average adult gets 10k kronor i.e 972$, child gets 5,000 kronor 486$ and family gets maximum of 40,000 kronor i.e 3885$, that's what y'all should be using to calculate not the imaginary 350k kronor
