Ghanaian-born, Sweden-based Dorcas Dadzie recently appeared as a returning guest on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide show with DJ Nyaami.
She shared her insights on the current state of immigration in Sweden, revealing the drastic changes affecting foreigners living in the country.
Dorcas began by discussing a shocking recent event—a school shooting in Ore, Sweden, which marked an unprecedented terrorist attack in a country that had never experienced such violence before.
The attack, which affected five people, including school children and a teacher, has fueled anti-immigrant sentiments, with foreigners being blamed for the incident.
She highlighted Sweden’s evolving stance on immigration, stating that last year, the government offered €34,000 to immigrants willing to return to their home countries.
This initiative applied to those with permanent, temporary, or asylum-seeker status, but not to Swedish citizens.
A family of four, for instance, could receive a significant amount to facilitate their relocation. However, few immigrants accepted the offer.
Sweden has now intensified its immigration restrictions, with new EU laws set to take full effect in 2026.
The country has stopped granting political asylum, making it increasingly difficult for newcomers to seek refuge.
Additionally, the work permit system has become more challenging, as the government has raised the minimum salary requirement to €2,850 per month.
Many employers find this unaffordable, effectively limiting job opportunities for immigrants. Now, the primary ways to secure residency in Sweden are through marriage or having children with a Swedish citizen.
Dorcas reflected on her nearly 30 years of living in Sweden and expressed her plans to return to Ghana soon.
She encouraged fellow Ghanaians to invest in their home country rather than relying on foreign lands that are becoming less welcoming. She emphasized that Ghana offers stable healthcare, reliable utilities, and economic opportunities for those willing to build businesses.
She concluded with a powerful message: “One day, the whites will ask us to leave. Let’s all head to Ghana and develop our country.” Dorcas believes it’s time for Africans to create opportunities in their homeland rather than enduring uncertainty abroad.
