How to apply for impediment to enforcement
When there is an impediment to enforcement, certain obstacles make it impossible to carry out a deportation or expulsion. There are various reasons why deportation or expulsion can’t be carried out. These can include practical barriers, such as the temporary impossibility of traveling to the specified country, or humanitarian reasons, such as serious risks to the individual’s life or health upon deportation. It’s important to understand your rights and the options available in such situations.
Types of impediments to enforcement
Humanitarian reasons
Deportation or expulsion may not proceed if it poses severe risks, such as torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, or punishment. Serious medical conditions can also be an obstacle if deportation significantly worsens the individual’s health.
Practical barriers
Practical reasons may also prevent deportation or expulsion. For example, it could be impossible to obtain travel documents or political instability in the destination country might make the journey unsafe or unfeasible.
Filing an application
An application must be submitted to the Swedish Migration Agency. It’s essential to provide new information that makes it impossible for you to return to your home country. When submitting this application, include any new evidence or details that weren’t part of your initial residence permit application. Seeking assistance from a legal expert can help make sure that you make the most of all available options.
