Sweden’s first test is set for 15 August 2026 at Stockholmsmässan. UHR says the first sitting will test the exam itself. Registration is closed, and only people invited by Migrationsverket may sit it.
Since 6 June, most applicants aged 16 to 66 must show Swedish-language and civic knowledge. Some approved grades satisfy the requirement, so not everyone needs the test.
