Sweden announced plans to offer up to 350,000 Swedish kronor (approximately 34,000 USD) to immigrants who voluntarily return to their countries of origin from 2026. The initiative, presented by Migration Minister Johan Forssell, marks a significant shift in the nation’s migration policy. Sweden, once known as a "humanitarian superpower" for welcoming war-weary and persecuted refugees, has faced challenges in integrating many newcomers. The policy is part of broader efforts by the right-wing government, supported by the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, to tighten migration controls. Forssell described the plan as a "paradigm shift" aimed at reducing immigration and encouraging voluntary returns amid ongoing debates over integration and national resources.
