This week we discuss the aftershock from last week’s parliamentary vote on stricter citizenship rules.
We’ve got an interview with Åsa Holmes from the Migration Agency on how the new rules will be applied — and what it means for people already in the system.
We also look at the new civics test for citizenship.
For Membership+ subscribers, we look at the TISUS exam — which now counts towards the language requirement for citizenship.
And finally we look a why – if you notice a Swedish person staring at you and then looking away – they’re not necessarily being rude.
Host Richard Orange is joined this week by panelists Becky Waterton and Mandy Pipher.
