For the first time, more Indians are leaving Sweden than arriving

Prior to this, Indian immigration had been on an uninterrupted climb since 2009, following strengthening diplomatic ties and the Nordic country’s drive to attract highly-skilled students, researchers and labour migrants to plug skills gaps in especially the tech sector.

But despite the Swedish government’s pledge to attract international talent, tech layoffs and tougher work permit rules are creating new hurdles for immigrants.

As The Local has previously reported, the number of work permits awarded to highly qualified immigrants fell 20 percent in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year. First-time work permits to Indian citizens fell 30 percent in the same timeframe.
