78-year-old British widow faces deportation from Sweden after missing Brexit residence deadline

A 78-year-old British widow is facing deportation from Sweden after failing to submit a residence application on time under arrangements introduced following Brexit.

The woman has lived in Sweden for 22 years, according to the available information. Her case concerns an application required for British citizens living in Sweden after the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union.

She did not complete the Brexit residence application by the deadline. As a result, she now faces the possibility of being deported from the country where she has spent more than two decades.

The information available does not state why the application was not submitted on time, when the deadline passed, or what stage the deportation process has reached.

At this time, it is known that the woman is 78, British and widowed, and that Swedish authorities are seeking her deportation because she failed to complete the required residence application within the specified period.
