British Widow Told to Leave Sweden Under Brexit Rules After 21 Years The case of 78 year old Joyce Thomas, who has been ordered to leave Sweden after living there for 21 years, highlights the complexities and cruelties of post Brexit immigration rules.
Since Brexit, more than 2,500 British nationals have been told to leave Sweden, sparking questions about the fairness of the country's approach. Thomas is not alone in her struggles.
After losing her husband in 2023, she was given only four weeks to leave Sweden and start anew. The thought of having to navigate this process again at her advanced age is unbearable.
