In this week’s episode we hear a conversation our Nordic editor Richard Orange had recently with Sasan Kazemian, an Iranian doctor who quit his job and left Sweden for Iran in September after he was refused a work permit extension.We’ve spoken to him previously for the podcast and wanted to catch up again to find out about his application to return to Sweden on a Blue Card visa.But any hopes he had of coming back to his girlfriend and apartment in Huddinge have been put on hold after the Migration Agency deemed him a “threat to public order”.Having spent lots of time and money learning Swedish and getting his Swedish medical qualifications, Kazemian is determined to return. But how likely is it that he’ll win his appeal?Tune in to this week's episode for the full story.&nbsp;READ ALSO:<ul><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20251120/threat-to-public-order-doctors-swedish-blue-card-application-rejected?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'Threat to public order': Doctor's Swedish work permit application rejected again</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thelocal.se/20250527/its-a-brain-drain-doctor-ordered-to-leave-sweden-over-mix-up-with-migration-agency?tpcc=podcast-article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'It's a brain drain': Doctor ordered to leave Sweden over mix-up with Migration Agency</a></li></ul><h2>Get Membership+ to listen to all The Local's podcasts</h2>Sweden in Focus Extra is a podcast for The Local's Membership+ subscribers.Sign up to Membership+ now and get early, ad-free access to a full-length episode of the Sweden in Focus podcast every weekend, as well as Sweden in Focus Extra every Wednesday.Please visit the link that applies to you and get a 40% discount on Membership+<ul><li>For signed-in members: <a href="https://www.thelocal.se/members/podcasts?tpcc=show-notes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Upgrade to Membership+</a></li><li>For new members: <a href="https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=show-notes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Get Membership+&nbsp;</a></li></ul> Become a member at <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock">https://www.thelocal.se/podcasts/podcast-offer?tpcc=padlock</a>.
