What does it cost to become a Swedish citizen?

What is public is the application fee at the Swedish Migration Agency. For the citizenship test itself, UHR has not yet published any fee. Here we go through what we know, with source and date.

The application fee

The Swedish Migration Agency states the fee for applying for Swedish citizenship as an adult as SEK 2,900. You do not get the fee back if your application is refused. Stateless people who have been granted a declaration of refugee status, and stateless refugees who have been issued a travel document by the Swedish Migration Agency, pay no fee.

This information applies to adults. For a child under 18, the fee is SEK 475 according to the Swedish Migration Agency, and it is not refunded if the application is refused either.

How to pay

If you apply in the e-service, you need to be able to pay the application fee with a Visa or Mastercard card. If you apply with a form, you get information about payment from the Swedish Migration Agency after the application has arrived. The Swedish Migration Agency writes that it will contact you by email or letter with information about how and how much to pay.

What does the test cost?

UHR writes that information about the registration fee will come. There is therefore no published fee for the citizenship test yet, and we do not mention any amount. Check uhr.se before the next test occasion.

Other costs

In addition to the fees, there may be costs for obtaining grades or certificates that show your knowledge, for translations or for travel to the Swedish Migration Agency for the identity check. The Swedish Migration Agency can carry out identity checks in Malmö, Gothenburg, Norrköping, Sundbyberg, Sundsvall and Boden.
