The wave of overseas immigrants broke Sweden's dream.

The news about "China immigrant fraud" was disclosed by Swedish mainstream media SvenskaDagbladet in June, 201/2000, which caused an uproar in Swedish society.

Due to the difficulty of emigrating to Sweden, there are not many legal intermediaries providing Swedish immigration services. There are many search results for "Swedish immigrants" on the Internet. Almost all these institutions have no legal qualifications. Many founders are Swedish students. The scheme recommended by these intermediaries is not complicated: the applicant first establishes a subsidiary in Sweden in the name of a domestic company; After the establishment of the company, the subsidiary will have independent legal personality to hire employees; The applicant was sent to Sweden as an executive of the parent company in China and was employed by the subsidiary company. At this time, the applicant can apply for a one-year work visa with his company's work invitation letter. Generally, after two renewals, the applicant can submit an application for permanent residence after the expiration of four years. Immediate family members of the applicant can also obtain accompanying visas for the same period.

It is precisely because of the dissatisfaction with the intermediary that at the end of 20 10, immigrants with work visas reported the gray industrial chain of China intermediary to the Swedish Immigration Bureau. At the same time, the Swedish Embassy in China also mentioned this situation in a document sent to the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Immigration will take action soon. They randomly selected 18 work visa cases in recent years for investigation. It turns out that in this 18 case, only two companies started their business according to the original application. Of the remaining 16 cases, 7 people went to other European countries after entering the country; The other nine people are still in Sweden, but their companies have not started any actual operations or have few activities; Moreover, their own wages are far lower than the data declared in the job invitation when applying for a work visa.

Soon, the Immigration Bureau revoked the work visas of these nine people and issued a repatriation order to them. "The reason is simple." Jonas Lin Gelun, executive director of the Immigration Bureau, said, "As long as you don't provide true information in your application, the Immigration Bureau may send you back." Lin Gelun said that if the actual salary paid is lower than the declared data, or the company is proved to be a shell company, these may be the reasons for repatriation. In these nine repatriation cases, five companies were established with the help of the Swedish government Invest Sweden. Alejandro Firpo, an expert of the Immigration Bureau, said: "It is really remarkable that companies and individuals who came to Sweden with the help of the Investment Promotion Bureau were sent back to China by the Immigration Bureau only one or two years later.

"Media reports may give Swedish society a negative impression that China people come here to enjoy the welfare of Sweden." Ye Keqing, president of the Swedish Chinese General Association, said that before that, the image of Swedish Chinese to Swedish society was generally positive, hardworking, law-abiding, living and working in peace and harmony with other ethnic groups. This news even caused panic among immigrant groups with work visas who came to Sweden in the same way.

Appeal results of nine immigrants with work visas who received repatriation orders. Two of them withdrew their appeals because the parties voluntarily returned to China, and three of the four existing judgments won. In the successful case, the Immigration Court held that the Immigration Bureau could not prove that the nature of the plaintiff's work was inconsistent with the application. Although the salary actually paid by the plaintiff was inconsistent with the application, it was enough for him to live in Sweden. At the same time, it is believed that there are objective reasons for the plaintiff's failure to start construction as scheduled. Therefore, I don't agree with the Immigration Bureau to revoke the plaintiff's work visa and residence permit. The immigration bureau was disappointed with the decision of the immigration court, so it conducted a larger investigation. In addition to the nine repatriation orders issued, the investigation scope of the Immigration Bureau has been extended to nearly 200 families in China, and "the investigation scope will be further expanded".

Up to now, the Immigration Department has conducted a survey on nearly 200 families in China. Alejandro Firpo said that the vast majority of companies that immigrate with work visas have never actually operated, and these people have not paid themselves according to the amount declared at the time of application. This means that they submitted false information at the time of application, and there is a great possibility that they will be repatriated. According to Swedish law, immigrant families with work visas can stay in Sweden until the residence permit expires, with a maximum period of two years. But most of them will go back to China anyway. Alejandro Filpo said that the investigation information will be submitted to the police at the same time. The Immigration Bureau suspects that there is someone behind this organized behavior and will be investigated by the police. He also revealed that the final investigation results of these 200 cases will be announced in the middle of February 20 12. It is observed that 80% of immigrants with work visas have chosen to return to China voluntarily.
