"Teen deportation is defined as a situation where a young adult of between 18 and 20 years old is refused a permit and issued with a deportation order, and where neither parent is issued a deportation order at the same time."
"A young adult might be refused a permit because they have turned 18 and is as a result required to meet self-sufficiency, employment and accommodation criteria."
"The Migration Agency provided the raw statistics on the number of young adults aged 18 to 20 who had a permit application rejected between 2021 and 2025, indicating the issue likely affects more than just a few individual cases."
Teen deportations in Sweden are not clearly defined, leading to confusion in statistics. The term refers to young adults aged 18-20 who are denied permits and issued deportation orders without their parents facing similar orders. Two main scenarios lead to these deportations: turning 18 and failing to meet self-sufficiency criteria, or a parent's transition from a work permit to permanent residency. The Migration Agency's data indicates that the issue affects more than just a few cases, but specific filtering for deportation cases is challenging.
