BREAKING: Sweden To Offer Immigrants $34k For Voluntary Return To Home Country—-The Swedish government has announced a substantial increase in financial support for immigrants choosing to voluntarily return to their countries of origin.

Starting in 2026, migrants will be eligible for up to 350,000 Swedish kronor (approximately $34,000), as part of an effort to encourage more individuals to opt for voluntary repatriation.

This new measure is part of a broader shift in Sweden’s immigration policy, driven by the current right-wing government with support from the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats.

Migration Minister Johan Forssell, speaking at a press briefing, highlighted the importance of the new approach.

Previously, the grant offered to returning migrants was far lower, with a maximum of 40,000 kronor per family.

According to Ludvig Aspling, a member of the Sweden Democrats, the previous assistance was underutilized due to a lack of awareness and its relatively small amount. He anticipates that the increased financial incentive will attract more participants.

The decision to increase the grant comes despite a government-commissioned report advising against such a move, citing concerns about cost-effectiveness. Nonetheless, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who leads a minority government, has made addressing immigration a key priority since taking office in 2022.

Sweden has a long history of welcoming migrants, especially from war-torn regions like the former Yugoslavia, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

However, challenges related to the integration of these migrants have become a growing issue in recent years.
