The Migration Agency’s work with return migration must be prioritized, announced the Sweden Democrats’ migration policy spokesperson Ludvik Aspling at a press meeting with the governing parties.

The government increases the return migration allowance to SEK 350,000 per person.

This means a sharp increase compared to today’s contribution, where an adult can receive a maximum of SEK 10,000.

The government is setting aside SEK 1.4 billion in the autumn budget for the increased contribution.

Government investigator Joakim Ruist has advised against a large increase. The investigation’s “best assessment” was that Sweden could increase its annual emigration of immigrants by around 700 people through an emigration grant of SEK 350,000.

– But there are also big risks in doing nothing at all.
