Law & Justice. The Migration Court of Appeal now states that repeated fine violations can be grounds for rejecting an application for an extended residence permit due to work.
The current case concerns a man who was convicted of drunk driving in October 2018 and of minor drug offenses in January 2022. In April 2022, he had also received a fine for failing to wear a seat belt while driving.
The Migration Agency rejected the man’s application on the grounds that the crimes he was guilty of constituted grounds for refusing him an extended residence permit and that there were also no particularly aggravating circumstances in the case.
The Migration Court of Appeal at the Court of Appeal in Stockholm now follows the Migration Agency’s line.
– The repeated crimes and the risk of recidivism outweigh the reasons the applicant put forward as a basis for a residence permit, says Johan Axelsson, Councilor of the Court of Appeal, in a statement.
