A foreigner may be granted Swedish citizenship upon meeting certain requirements, including:

5 years' residence in Sweden.

A number of exemptions apply to the residence period:

The residence period is reduced to 4 years for recognised refugees and stateless persons.
Citizens of other Nordic Council countries are only required to have two years' residence in Sweden.
Former Swedish citizens
Those employed on Swedish ships
Persons employed abroad by Swedish corporations
A person married to a Swedish citizen for at least 10 years, who does not live in his or her native country, and has 'strong ties' to Sweden
A person with previous long residence in Sweden

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
