Applying for international protection in Sweden is a structured legal process managed by the Swedish Migration Agency. According to the Agency’s official guidance “How will the application for international protection work?” (Swedish Migration Agency, 2026), every applicant must go through several formal steps: registration, identity checks, interviews, evidence submission, and finally a decision.
For many Ethiopian and Eritrean applicants, this process can feel overwhelming. Language barriers, unfamiliar digital systems, difficulty accessing documents, and cultural differences in storytelling often make the journey stressful. This is where Fana Juridik & Tolk AB provides essential support.
