This week we talk about the government backtracking on some of its most heavily criticised immigration reforms and what it means for immigrants in Sweden.
We also discuss this year’s winner of Melodifestivalen, Felicia, an artist with a colourful back story who’s set to represent Sweden at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
For Membership+ subscribers we look at why April could be a good month for your personal finances in Sweden.
Finally we’ll bring you the latest on what we know about which professions are going to be exempted from increased work permit salary requirements.
