Current files cover asylum applications, asylum decisions, reception system enrollment, municipal reception, work permits and residence permits, with current statistics updated monthly and longer historical overviews updated annually. The datasets are also made available through Sweden's data portal.

open data of the Swedish Migration Board FAQ

Why are some recent asylum statistics limited?
From 15 July the agency temporarily limits asylum data for June onward in three files because the EU migration and asylum pact introduced on 12 June changed how data is registered. Until correct and comparable statistics can be published, numbers of registered applications are published on the International protection (asylum) page.
Where else can the data be found?
The agency's open data is also made available through Sweden's data portal, which collects datasets from public and private organizations.
What format and update frequency do the files have?
The listed files are in Excel format. Current statistics are updated monthly and longer historical overviews are updated annually, with listed files described as having no conditions for use and containing no personal data.
