handläggning

Swedish word. In English: processing (of a case)

The time when an authority looks into your case before it makes a decision.

Facts about the word

  • The Migration Agency cannot say exactly how long processing takes. On 24 September 2026, 75 percent of recently decided cases had been decided within 53 months. Migrationsverket
  • After six months you can ask for the case to be decided. The Migration Agency then has four weeks, and you can only ask once. Migrationsverket

The word is not in Sverige i fokus. The facts come from the authorities' own pages and the law.
