General Remarks
The
personal identity number, which all legal residents of Sweden have, is used to
check the access of an individual to social and economic rights. Undocumented
migrants, who usually do not have such a number, are thus effectively excluded
from most of these rights.
Can an undocumented migrant receive accommodation in a public housing
shelter or in a private shelter that receives public funding?
No information provided.
Is it legal for a landlord to rent out an apartment to an undocumented
migrant?
No information provided.
Do undocumented migrants have access to public health care or is there a
special health service only for undocumented migrants?
Undocumented
migrants do not have access to health care (apart from the possibility of being
a private patient). There are a few clinics that have been opened by NGOs in the
major cities where access to health care is free.
Do health care professionals have the duty to report an undocumented
migrant to the authorities? If yes, why? If no, why not?
No.
