Sweden's Migration Agency to launch new website on March 5th
At the time there was no specific date for the new website to be rolled out, although Widmark said that it would be ready in early 2025.
A banner on the Migration Agency's website now states that a 'brand new version' of the website is to be launched on March 5th.
Last year, Widmark said that the new website would focus less on having a large range of languages.
The current version of the website publishes information in more than a dozen foreign languages, although the Swedish and English websites are the most fleshed out, with some languages – for example French and Spanish – mainly focusing on asylum migration.
'Because the reliability of the information is so important, we will not have 10-15 different languages on the new website, but focus on clear and comprehensible Swedish and English, so that we can work both faster and with better quality on our digital information.'
following criticism of discrepancies between the Swedish version and English version.
'We use outsourced translators and a translation usually takes a week. Sometimes when it's extra urgent to get the information out, we publish the Swedish page first, before we have all the translations ready,' she said.

Centre Party calls for Sweden to bring in a tourist tax
Centre Party business spokesperson Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist has called for municipalities in Sweden to be allowed to impose an additional tourist tax to compensate for the burden of tourism on infrastructure and municipal finances. Advertisement Thand Ringqvist, who in 2023 was one of the contenders to lead the party, said that following Norway's example and allowing municipalities to charge visitors a fee would increase local acceptance for tourism. "About 60 percent of each tourist krona goes to the state. We have one of the world's most centralised tax systems," she said in a debate on Swedish public broadcaster SVT with financial markets minister Niklas Wykman. "So that's why it's important to find different ways to make sure municipalities get something back back. A municipal fee that municipalities can decide themsleves together with local businesses can do that." Norway's parliament in June agreed to allow muncipalities to levy a 3 percent tax on hotel, Airbnb and hostel stays, and also to levy a tax on visiting cruise ships, after areas like the Lofoten islands and most popular fjords have been overrun by excessive numbers of tourists. In the debate, Wykman likened a tourist tax to a tax on alcohol or tobacco, saying the only reason to bring in such a tax would be if you wanted to reduce the number of tourists, which no municipality in Sweden would really want to do. But Thand Ringqvist countered that this reflected the Stockholm-based perspective of the finance ministry. Advertisement "I see this from [visiting] the gravel roads in the Jämtland mountains and from Öland and I hear what local people are saying," Thand Ringqvist. "The minister sees it from the finance ministry, and there it's hard to see the piles or rubbish, or the parking chaos, or the traffic jams people experience locally." "A municipality would never want to scare away tourists, this is about winning the support of local people and reducing the opposition to tourism in some places."

Historic Swedish church to be moved to make way for mine
A historic red wooden church considered one of Sweden's most beautiful buildings is to be moved from its longtime home in the Arctic town of Kiruna next week as part of a campaign to expand Europe's biggest underground mine. Advertisement Kiruna Kyrka, a Swedish Lutheran church, dates from 1912. The 672 tonne, 40 metre (131 feet) high building will be moved five kilometres (three miles) on a lorry to the new Kiruna town on Tuesday and Wednesday. The complex and costly logistical operation has generated widespread interest, with more than 10,000 people expected to line the streets of the town of 18,000. King Carl XVI Gustaf will be among those in town following the move. Swedish television will broadcast the entire journey live -- a new iteration of the "Slow TV" trend -- with 30 cameras set up along the route, it said. Kiruna's entire town centre is being moved because of the giant mine that dominates the region. As the LKAB iron ore mine's operations have progressed ever deeper over the years, the stability of the ground under Kiruna has weakened, increasing the risk of collapse in some parts. Advertisement Unique event The town's relocation process began almost two decades ago and is expected to continue for years to come. The new town centre was officially inaugurated in September 2022. The relocation of the church alone is expected to cost 500 million kronor ($52 million) and is being paid for by LKAB. Designed by Swedish architect Gustaf Wickman, the imposing structure is a mix of influences and includes designs inspired by the region's indigenous Sami people on the pews. The neo-Gothic exterior features slanting roofs and windows on each side, while its dark interior has elements of national romanticism as well as an Art Nouveau altarpiece painted by Sweden's Prince Eugen (1865-1947), a pastel landscape inspired by his trips to Toscana and western Sweden. The church is one of 23 cultural buildings relocated in the Kiruna move. LKAB has called next week's relocation "a unique event in world history". The structure has been "thoroughly examined ahead of the move to protect its cultural assets in the best possible way, to ensure that the altarpiece and organ in particular are moved with care," the company said. Advertisement The roads on the route have been widened, a process that took a year according to LKAB, and the ground around the church's current location has been dug out. "The church is sitting on a beam system, then two rows of trailers were brought in," LKAB project manager Stefan Holmblad Johansson told AFP. The move is expected to take on the air of a street party, with LKAB treating crowds to snacks, refreshments and live entertainment.

RANKED: Sweden's most stressful and disappointing tourist attractions
Very often the worst moments of a holiday are the ones where you go to see the sights, only to be met by crowds, overpriced tickets and restaurants, and general stress. Here are Sweden's most stressful and disappointing attractions, as ranked by two leading review websites. Advertisement The online language tutoring agency, Preply, trawled two of the world's biggest travel review websites and counted all the reviews mentioning 'tourist trap', 'underwhelming', 'overrated', and 'a disappointment', using them to create a global ranking. None of Sweden's sites made the global list, although the Little Mermaid in neighbouring Denmark made third place, coming after the Guinness Storehouse in Ireland (1st) and the Eiffel Tower in France, (2nd). Some Swedish attractions nonetheless did manage to garner a fair few negative reviews, with the Skansen open air museum in Stockholm coming top with 180 reviews using one of the four negative words. Sweden's ten most disappointing tourist attractions Skansen (Stockholm) ABBA The Museum (Stockholm) Vasa Museum (Stockholm) Fotografiska (Stockholm) Drottningholms Slott (Stockholm) Royal Palace (Stockholm) Universeum (Gothenburg) Lilla Torg (Malmö) Öresund Bridge (Malmö) Stadshuset (Stockholm) Historiska Museet (Stockholm) Advertisement The least stressful or disappointing tourist sites Tropikariet (Helsingborg) Kalmar Castle (Kalmar) Monteliusvägen (Stockholm) Aeroseum (Gothenburg) What did the negative reviews say? The most common complaint about the (we think excellent) Skansen open air museum was the high price of tickets and the disappointing number of animals in the zoo. ABBA The Museum was criticised for the long queues, overcrowded exhibits and high ticket prices. The (we think fabulous) Vasa Museum, where the incredibly well-preserved Vasa warship, which sank on its maiden voyage in 1628, was written off as "not worth the visit".
