瑞典政府公开确认，自英国脱欧以来已驱逐或强制遣返458名英国公民1。这是脱欧后英国公民在瑞典居留权申请被拒的首次官方数据公布。根据瑞典移民局的统计，在14233份脱欧后提交的居留权申请中，略少于4000份遭到拒绝1。瑞典的拒签率约为欧盟平均水平3%至4%的三倍1，这一数据引发了对该国移民政策的关注。
被驱逐的英国公民中包括在瑞典生活超过25年的长期居民1。78岁的英国寡妇乔伊斯·托马斯被要求在下周三前离开瑞典1。瑞典移民局负责人苏珊娜·冯塞尔表示"被拒的申请不一定导致驱逐"1，暗示拒签与实际驱逐之间存在程序上的区别。瑞典外交大臣约翰·福塞尔表示政府愿意调查此事，并可能采取措施简化未来的申请流程1。英国外交部则表示将继续与瑞典当局就此问题进行沟通1。英国移民倡导组织"Brits in Sweden"拥有9000名成员1。
Sweden has confirmed that 458 British citizens have been deported or forcibly removed from the country since Brexit, marking the first public disclosure of residency rejections affecting UK nationals in the Nordic country.1 Out of 14,233 residency applications submitted by Britons following the UK's departure from the European Union, slightly fewer than 4,000 have been refused.1 Sweden's refusal rate stands at approximately three times the European Union average of 3 to 4 percent.1
The deportations have affected individuals with deep ties to Sweden, including some who have lived in the country for over 25 years.1 Among those facing removal is 78-year-old British widow Joyce Thomas, who was ordered to leave by the following Wednesday.1 Susanna Fonsell, head of Sweden's immigration authority, cautioned that "a rejected application does not necessarily result in deportation."1 The Swedish advocacy group Brits in Sweden, which represents 9,000 members, has drawn attention to these cases.1
Swedish Foreign Minister Johan Forssell stated that the government is willing to investigate the matter and may take steps to streamline future procedures.1 The British Foreign Office has indicated it will continue communicating with Swedish authorities regarding the issue.1
