What nationalities are worst affected by Sweden's citizenship freeze?

The Swedish Migration Agency has been unable to approve over 3,200 standard citizenship applications since early April due to new security measures, with some nationalities like Indians, Germans, Irish, Italians, and Spaniards experiencing significant declines. Citizenship by notification, which is typically faster and unaffected by delays, remains a key exception. The primary reason for the backlog is the time required to fully implement the new checks, particularly in setting up in-person identification processes starting in April.
