• Right-wing government to increase grants for voluntarily returning immigrants.
• Starting in 2026, up to 350,000 Swedish kronor ($34,000) offered.
• A significant increase from the current 10,000 kronor.

On Thursday, Sweden’s government announced that it would significantly increase grants for immigrants who decide to leave the country, aiming to encourage more migrants to make that choice.

Starting in 2026, the right-wing government, supported by the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, will offer immigrants who voluntarily return to their home countries up to 350,000 Swedish kronor ($34,000). This amount marks a significant increase from the current 10,000 kronor, according to the government’s statement.
