Is Brexit to blame for British citizens being deported from Sweden?
- Sweden is enforcing a tough crackdown on immigration with a 78-year-old British widow facing deportation despite living there for 21 years because her post-Brexit residence application was too late.
- But Joyce Thomas was given just four weeks to leave the country in November, three years after her husband died, The Guardian reported.
- Mrs Thomas is one of 2,500 British people ordered to leave the country under what the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has dubbed a “considerably stricter approach” to Brexit rules.
