Sweden’s parliament approved a constitutional amendment on Wednesday, November 11, allowing the government to revoke Swedish citizenship from people who also hold another nationality.
The vote passed 292–51. The measure covers dual nationals who obtained citizenship through false information or improper conduct, and those convicted of crimes that seriously threaten national security or damage Sweden’s vital interests.
The constitutional amendment takes effect January 1, 2027, but revocations cannot begin until separate implementing legislation is approved. Sweden’s Migration Agency says January 1, 2028 has been proposed for those rules, but it is not yet final. Nobody can be stripped of citizenship if that would leave them stateless.
The change creates a different level of citizenship protection for dual nationals.
