Norwegians remain highly skeptical of immigrants, according to a report published on Monday .

The unease extends beyond Norway, as Europe grapples with the legal and social fractures of citizenship disparities. Ardeshir, a 39-year-old Iranian academic working in Finland and Denmark, described the strain of navigating residency rules while his wife and daughter hold EU passports. “In every country I have to constantly think how I guarantee that I can stay with my family,” he said. “It is exhausting” .

Denmark’s labor market policies add to the pressure, with non-EU nationals like Rony Chaar, a Lebanese professional, facing residency risks tied to employment. After losing his job in June, Chaar resorted to unconventional measures to secure work and maintain his right to stay .

Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, a Bahraini human rights defender and Danish citizen, remains imprisoned in Bahrain despite EU Parliament resolutions in 2021 and 2022 demanding his release. The EU has yet to act on these calls, even as it prepares for strategic talks with Bahrain and Gulf states .
