Rules changelog

Every meaningful rules update should be visible.

Immigration rules change often. This log records updates that affect ReloClear scoring, report wording, or eligibility assumptions.

Sweden family assessments updated for the October rules

September 24, 2026

Sweden's family assessments now account for the reviewed changes taking effect on October 1, including sponsor conditions, maintenance checks, exemptions and extension transitions. Questions and reports explain the relevant family situation more clearly. The assessment uses the applicable dates, so publishing this update does not apply future requirements early.

Clearer questions and results for Sweden and Spain

September 24, 2026

Both assessments now ask more relevant questions about work, family and dates. Spain's digital nomad questions distinguish employees from self-employed people, and uncertain answers use consistent wording across both countries. Results make it easier to distinguish an unmet requirement from something that needs checking.

Full Reports with more practical next steps

September 24, 2026

Full Reports now explain requirements, supporting documents and next steps more clearly. Spain reports give more specific guidance on where and how to apply, with clearer income and savings comparisons. We also improved result labels and report layouts across Sweden and Spain so important points are easier to find.

Financial requirements by date and updated waiting-time guidance

September 23, 2026

Financial checks for Sweden and Spain can now use reviewed salary and maintenance amounts for the relevant date, including scheduled changes. Saved reports retain the rules used when they were created. Sweden's waiting-time guidance also uses reviewed official statistics as planning estimates, not a promise of when an application will be decided.

Stronger monitoring of Spanish immigration changes

September 22, 2026

Spain now uses the same monitoring and review process as Sweden, focused on official sources for proposed and enacted immigration changes and recurring financial amounts. We removed overlapping sources and made detected updates easier to understand. A detected change must be reviewed before it can update the assessment rules.

Study insurance and Spain assessment release

September 20, 2026

Sweden SE-v4.51 distinguishes insurance already applied for from a plan to arrange it. Spain ES-v1.64 is available for testing. Version dates identify releases; “Rules last reviewed” records the legal review date and can be earlier.

Released rulesets: SE-v4.51 and ES-v1.64

Clearer qualifications, salary checks and family intake

September 15, 2026

The Sweden updates through SE-v4.50 separate education from professional experience, calculate applicable salary exemptions, and explain missing occupation medians. Family questions now identify the relevant permit and household more precisely.

Released rulesets: SE-v4.42–SE-v4.50

Sweden assessment expanded for more situations

August 25, 2026

ReloClear can now assess more common situations involving people with more than one citizenship, EU/EEA and Swiss citizens, Swedish citizens returning with family, long-term EU residents, family members of permit applicants or holders, people who already have a Swedish permit, and special travel documents. If the answers are not enough for a reliable result, we clearly show what needs to be checked instead of guessing.

Timing-sensitive rules made more accurate

August 17, 2026

ReloClear now uses the date that matters for each rule when checking salary thresholds and transition periods. ICT cases distinguish short assignments, long-term mobility, and travel requirements. Seasonal-work duration is calculated from the exact permit dates instead of an estimate.

Five more Sweden permit routes added

July 23, 2026

ReloClear added dedicated assessments for seasonal workers, intra-company transfers (ICT), researchers, doctoral students, and self-employed people. We also expanded checks for work permits, EU Blue Cards, students, families, and jobseekers. Full Reports now connect important problems and points to check with clearer next steps.

Sweden EU Blue Card salary threshold updated

July 15, 2026

The EU Blue Card salary threshold increased to SEK 53,625 per month. The threshold equals 1.25 times the average Swedish gross salary published by the National Mediation Office and applies from July 15, 2026.

Sweden work permit salary threshold updated

June 16, 2026

SCB updated the Swedish median salary to SEK 38,300. For applications submitted from June 16, the general 90% work permit threshold is SEK 34,470 per month, with a 75% exemption floor of SEK 28,725. The separate EU Blue Card threshold was not part of this work permit update.

Sweden work permit salary rule verified

June 4, 2026

From June 1, 2026, Sweden applies a work permit salary requirement of at least 90% of the median salary at the time of application. At the then-current median salary of SEK 37,100, that was SEK 33,390 per month. The EU Blue Card salary threshold was tracked separately.

Launch scoring baseline prepared

June 2026

Initial Sweden coverage focuses on Work Permit, EU Blue Card, Family Reunification, and Student Visa routes. Each route is treated as a rules-engine assessment, not a generic AI answer.
