Asylum seekers are provided with an arrival folder at the initial interview at the Swedish Migration Agency when they lodge their asylum application. This folder contains essential information about Sweden’s asylum reception system, including details about their rights and responsibilities regarding work, education, housing, healthcare, and financial assistance. The information is regularly updated, and the latest version can be accessed on the Migration Agency’s website.[1]
