The Test for Residents of Växjö

The citizenship test is a national test – the content, number of questions, and assessment are the same whether you live in Växjö or any other Swedish municipality. Växjö is located in Kronoberg County and has approximately 100,000 inhabitants.

The test is developed by UHR (Universitets- och högskolerådet, the Swedish Council for Higher Education). Migrationsverket (the Swedish Migration Agency) will direct you to a test session via an assignment letter once you have submitted your citizenship application.

According to UHR, the citizenship test is a multiple-choice exam with approximately 60 questions to be answered in 90 minutes. Each question has four answer options with one correct answer. The test is taken in Swedish and on paper. The first test session is planned for 15 August 2026 in Stockholm.

Test Locations and Travel from Växjö

Currently, UHR has announced that the first test session is planned for 15 August 2026 in Stockholm. More test locations are expected to be added over time. Residents of Växjö should therefore plan for potential travel to the nearest test location.
