Sweden has offered permanent residency to all Syrian arrivals
Refugees fleeing the violence in Syria make up the largest proportion of people seeking asylum across Europe and in 2013 Sweden became the first country in Europe to rule that all refugees from the war-torn nation would be granted permanent residency in the light of the worsening conflict.
However the Swedish government announced plans to tighten the rules again again in November 2015.
Denmark introduced temporary one-year permitsfor Syrian refugees last year with the stated intention of sending them back home "as soon as conditions improve" in the war-ravaged country.
Why do refugees prefer Sweden to Denmark?
