Sweden raises deportation age for migrant youth to 21 but keeps strict asylum rules
politicssweden
Sweden tightens deportation rules for migrant youth but raises age limit to 21. The government in Stockholm announces today it will no longer deport unaccompanied minors when they turn 18 if their families have valid residence permits. Instead, the threshold rises to 21, and affected teenagers gain the right to file new residency applications. Officials stress the change does not signal a softer asylum policy; Sweden will keep its strict criteria for protection status, according to a statement carried by Digi24 .
