Good news at last for work permit holders in Sweden

In this week's episode we talk about how to make the most of Sweden’s Midsummer celebrations, and we look at big changes to Sweden’s work permit system — including a new rule that could help you stay in the country if you lose your job.

For Membership+ subscribers we explore why Swedes are dropping traditional surnames, racism in Swedish nightclubs, and why party leaders have been reprimanded after calling for a slow down in citizenship processing.

Host Richard Orange is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
