Kristersson: Free to submit a new application, but young people with final deportation orders must leave

Young people who have already received deportation orders are not covered by the government's solution or by the Swedish Migration Agency's pause. Anyone is free to submit a new application, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) said.

On Friday, the Tidö parties announced that they have reached an agreement on the so-called teenage deportations. While waiting for new rules, the Migration Board has paused all decisions, as the changes are moving in a positive direction for young people.

But the announcement does not apply to those who already have a final decision. They must leave the country.

"I think everyone understands that the old law applies until new legislation comes into force," says Kristersson.

Kristersson's call to submit a new application requires those young people to first leave the country within a specified time; otherwise they risk being banned from re-entering.
