British Widow Faces Deportation From Sweden After 22 Years
A 78-year-old British woman living in Sweden risks removal after missing a deadline to file a post-Brexit residence application, according to BBC News.
A 78-year-old British widow who has lived in Sweden for 22 years is facing deportation after failing to submit a required Brexit residence application on time, BBC News reported.
According to the report, the woman's status in the country was thrown into question when she did not complete the paperwork needed under post-Brexit rules governing the residency rights of British nationals living in European Union member states.
The case highlights the administrative requirements introduced for British citizens residing in EU countries following the United Kingdom's departure from the bloc, under which many were required to formally register their residence status by a set deadline to retain their right to remain.
BBC News did not provide further details on the woman's identity, the specific deadline she missed, or the current stage of any deportation proceedings against her.
The report did not include comment from Swedish authorities or from the woman regarding the circumstances of the missed application.
