Sweden's Parliament to Vote on Revoking Citizenship for Crimes Against National Interests

PublishedEditorial policy

Sweden's Parliament is set to vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow the revocation of Swedish citizenship for dual nationals. This would apply if they are convicted of crimes deemed to seriously harm the nation's vital interests, signaling a shift in citizenship protection.

Key takeaways

  • Dual citizenship will no longer offer absolute protection: Sweden is introducing a mechanism to revoke passports for crimes against national interests, even if a second citizenship is held.
  • The law will only affect those convicted of serious crimes, but the definition of 'vital interests' remains at the state's discretion and could potentially expand.
  • Applicants and dual nationals should understand that Swedish citizenship is not an absolute status if an act is committed that the state deems a threat.

Sweden Considers Revoking Citizenship for Dual Nationals

The Swedish Parliament is preparing to vote on a proposed constitutional amendment that would enable the revocation of Swedish citizenship for individuals holding dual nationality. This measure would apply specifically to those convicted of crimes that are deemed to seriously harm Sweden's vital national interests.

This proposed change targets serious offenses, not minor infractions, focusing on actions the state classifies as a threat. If passed, dual citizenship would no longer offer absolute protection against losing Swedish nationality. Historically, revoking citizenship was more challenging in many countries to prevent statelessness. Sweden's new approach would allow for judicial revocation of a Swedish passport if a second passport is held, affecting both residents and those living abroad.

For citizenship applicants and individuals with dual nationality, this signals that a Swedish passport may not be an absolute guarantee. A conviction for a serious crime could lead to its revocation, even if you possess a second citizenship. While the law has not yet been adopted, the direction of this policy is clear.
