We're always improving. This update brings bug fixes, better performance and a more polished experience. Denmark's 2027 citizenship test dates are here. SIRI published them on 5 October 2026: 26 May (register by 21 April) and 24 November (register by 20 October). Find them on the Practice tab and pick one as your sitting. Your Dashboard shows them with their deadlines.

We're always improving. This update brings bug fixes, better performance and a more polished experience. Denmark: the government will table L 98 again, the bill for the 2,055 applicants approved before the election. It is expected in the first half of 2027. Every other case stays paused until a new agreement, so your Dashboard still reads frozen. The sitting date on the Practice tab is tidier, with the month in a labelled box. Screen readers now say what each button does.

This update brings two corrections. Denmark: Dansk og Prøver has not yet published the 2027 dates for indfødsretsprøven. The Practice tab now says so with an info note, and the dates will be added as soon as they are published. The next sitting is 25 November 2026. Registration closes 21 October 2026. Sweden: stricter family-permit rules have applied since 1 October 2026 and are no longer a proposal. Your permanent residence outlook now reflects this.

Stage one: the Path tab now opens with permanent residence, the step before citizenship. See your country's requirements, with your years counted. Never miss a permit renewal: add the day your residence permit ends and the Dashboard counts down to it, with your country's renewal window and a reminder in time. Tell a friend: know someone on the same road? Send Belong Nordic from the You tab in two taps. A warmer coral on your name on the You tab and on the Passport tab.

We're always improving. This update brings bug fixes, better performance and a more polished experience. All four countries' rules were checked again for October 2026, and nothing has changed for you.

A new look, built around one ring! THE RING The Dashboard now opens on a ring with one segment per requirement on your route. Green is met, amber is in progress, red is blocked. The number in the middle is how many you have met. The finish line still reads frozen while decisions are paused. Same honest count, one glance. ONE COLOUR PER TAB Path opens in forest and gold, Practice in plum and peach. Every card on every tab is a clear box with a soft shadow. Coral stays on the details: the icon tiles, the chevrons, the buttons. The same colours run through the requirements sheet, the Path and the summary boxes, so a status reads the same wherever you meet it. THE YOU TAB, TIDIED Your situation, what you can complete and your notifications fold behind drop downs. Terms, privacy, a new "How to use" guide, the app, Belong Europe and contact are six small tiles. The four countries sit as tiles at the bottom with the active one ringed. The subscription card now closes the tab. A NEW ICON A B inside the ring, on ivory. Nordic. Your answers, trips, documents, practice history and widgets carry over untouched. Nothing leaves your iPhone!

A second person on this iPhone, life after applying, exam sittings and the guides offline. A SECOND PERSON Add your partner, or another adult, on the You tab and they get their own count: their route, their years, their trips. Switch between you from the same card. A trip you took together is logged once and counted for both. Practice, documents, reminders and widgets stay with you. AFTER YOU APPLY Tell the app the day you filed and the Dashboard follows the wait with you: days since filing, the authority's case page one tap away, and the updates you log from their letters, with a reply window that becomes a date ahead and an alert. No expected date, because none is published. EXAM SITTINGS AND DEADLINES The next indfødsretsprøven sitting sits on the Practice tab with the last day to register, read from the authority on a stated day. Pick it and the tab counts down to it; alerts arrive two weeks before registration closes and a month before the sitting. Sweden's card says UHR has not published the next date. THE GUIDES, ON YOUR IPHONE The fourteen guides from belongnordic.app are now a Guides segment on the Practice tab, each dated to the day its facts were checked, readable on a plane. Also: your first result shown before the paywall, bigger flags in the welcome carousel and a Practice bar that fits on one line. Your trips, documents, practice history and widgets carry over untouched.

Belong Nordic on your home screen, and trips you can plan before you book. FOUR WIDGETS Where you stand: your residence time so far against the years your route asks for, and the earliest date, or the word frozen, exactly as your dashboard says it. Days abroad: this year's count against your country's limit, logged trips only. Today's five: whether the round is done and your run of days, a tap away. News by The Local: the newest immigration and citizenship story for your country. Home screen and Lock Screen, and the same rules as the app: a planned trip does not move a widget, and they go quiet while your subscription is not active. Add them from the home screen, or read how on the You tab. PLAN A TRIP BEFORE YOU BOOK Add a trip dated ahead and the trip sheet shows what the days away would do to your year, on a copy of the real rules. Planned trips sit in their own group on Standing and count for nothing until they have happened. Two new dates on your dashboard: the day after a trip ends, and the day your days abroad reach four fifths of the year's limit. ALERTS THAT OPEN WHAT THEY NAME Tap a Daily 5 reminder and the round opens with the quoted question in it. Tap a milestone and the Next sheet opens on that row. Tap a news alert and the story opens. Daily 5 reminders now quote one of the questions waiting for you, and tonight's is withdrawn once you have done today's round. A CALMER SETUP Setting up a country shows why each question is asked, how much residence you already have and the reminders you can turn on, before the first dashboard. Your trips, documents, practice history and review schedule carry over untouched.

More than twice the questions, and Finland joins! 3,012 PRACTICE QUESTIONS, UP FROM 1,431 929 for Denmark, 785 for Norway, 963 for Sweden. Enough to sit down with it every day for months and still meet something you have not seen. Every new question was written from the authority's own study material and checked again by a second pass that had not written it. Your mistakes deck and your review schedule carry over untouched. FINLAND, AHEAD OF ITS TEST Finland's citizenship test becomes law on 1 January 2027. There are 335 questions waiting for it, in Finnish, across the areas the Act itself names. No mock and no pass mark: Migri has published neither, and a gap is more use to you than a number we made up. THE ANSWER STOPS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT In most question banks the correct answer is the longest one. Ours was no exception. Every question has been rebalanced so that guessing by length is worth nothing. You have to know the material, which was always the point.

1,431 practice questions, up from 318. MORE THAN FOUR TIMES THE QUESTIONS 491 for Denmark, 405 for Norway and 535 for Sweden. Every new question was written from the authority's own study material, then checked again by a second pass before it shipped. Your mistakes deck and your review schedule carry over untouched. CHAPTERS, IN THE AUTHORITY'S ORDER Practice now follows the book you are already studying from: the six kapitler of the Danish læremateriale, the seven emner of the Norwegian samfunnskunnskap curriculum, the thirteen chapters of Sverige i fokus. Each chapter shows how much of it you hold, so you can drill the section costing you marks instead of the whole bank. THE MOCK, UNDER THE REAL CLOCK A full mock now runs the real shape and the real time: 45 questions in 45 minutes for Denmark, 36 in 60 for Norway, 60 in 90 for Sweden. Skip a question and it comes back at the end, exactly as at the sitting. The result breaks your score down chapter by chapter, and rematches only the ones you missed. WHERE YOU STAND, AND WHEN YOU SIT Practice, Chapters and Progress are three sections now, with News by The Local beside them. Progress keeps every mock you have sat against the pass line, ranks the chapters losing you marks and counts down to the sitting date you enter. Nothing here predicts your exam result. It only says what you have done.

CHECKED FOR SEPTEMBER All four countries' figures and dates were checked again for September 2026, and nothing shifted under you: Denmark's citizenship test still sits on 25 November with registration closing 21 October, Sweden's next society-test sittings are still to be announced and Finland's new test still arrives in 2027. One correction worth naming: the Danish Nordic declaration asks for 7 years of registered residence — the 2-year figure belongs to Nordic naturalisation. The passport, up close. PARTICULARITIES OF THE PASSPORT Each passport now tells you what makes it particular — Norway's northern lights under UV light, Finland's flipbook seal, Sweden's embossed swallows, Denmark's four hidden photographs — every line verified like the figures. All four covers were rebuilt from better photographs, and the other countries sit one flag chip away. WHEN YOU COULD APPLY A pill under the cover says when you could apply, at the earliest, from the same figures your Dashboard reads. And the Dashboard's headline was rewritten — it now reads straight off your meter, so the words can never say more than the bar does. YOUR PHOTO, AS THE HOLDER Add a photo of yourself on the You tab and the Passport tab carries it beside your name, the way the finished document will. Like your name it stays on your iPhone only — never uploaded, never synced — and each country keeps its own, so a track you have not set up starts blank. NEWS FIRST The middle tab is now News & Practice: news opens first, so what changed meets you before the drilling, and Practice sits one segment away.

Belong Nordic has a new shape! YOUR COUNTRY, FRONT AND CENTRE Your country's flag now sits at the top of every tab, with the date its rules were last verified right under it. The other three countries wait under the You tab until you need them. And the bar below went from six tabs to five: Practice and News share the Learn tab, and your Standing sits on the Dashboard, one tap from the meter it explains. THE PASSPORT TAB A new tab about the document at the end of the road. The real cover in colour, and the facts that matter — validity, fee, where to apply, dual citizenship — every figure verified with the issuing authority in August 2026, with a link to the source. Add your name on the You tab and the passport carries it as the holder's. CHECKED AGAINST THE LAW, AGAIN All four countries' rules were re-verified against the current law in August 2026 — Sweden's permit stages on the way to citizenship, Denmark's Nordic declaration, Norway's and Finland's figures and dates. And the progress meter now measures exactly the route you are on, so what it shows can never disagree with the cards below it.

We're always improving. This update brings bug fixes, better performance and a more polished experience.

SWEDEN'S TEST IS LIVE Sweden's society test had its first sitting on 15 August 2026, and the app now carries what came with it: free in 2026, 2,000 SEK a sitting from 2027; the knowledge requirements apply from age 16 to 66; a passing grade in samhällskunskap also counts. The Swedish language test is due by 1 October 2027. Now on your Dashboard as a date ahead. Until then school grades, the highest SFI course or Tisus count, so you can mark it done on the You tab. Practice still shows your score without a pass line: UHR sets the pass mark from the autumn results, and the verdict arrives the day UHR's does.

YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY ON THIS IPHONE The papers you attach are now kept out of your iPhone backup. They used to travel in it — yours, encrypted, but off this phone all the same — and now they do not, so nothing you attach can reach another device. The trade is real and worth knowing: restoring a new iPhone from a backup will not bring your documents back, and you attach them again. Keep your own copies of anything hard to replace.

PRACTICE FOR SWEDEN'S NEW TEST Sweden's society test, medborgarskapsprovet, has its first sitting on 15 August 2026 — and the Practice tab now covers it. 120 questions written by Belong Nordic from UHR's official study material, Sverige i fokus, in Swedish with the English study toggle: Today's five, quick rounds, chapter drills and a full-length 60-question mock. The test is so new that UHR has not yet published a pass mark, so results show your score without a pass line — no verdict is invented, and the pass line appears the day UHR publishes one.

TODAY'S FIVE (New!) Five practice questions a day for the citizenship test in Denmark and Norway, about a minute. They are chosen for you: the ones you get wrong come back sooner, the ones you know come back later. Set a daily reminder at an hour that suits you, and a spare day is banked every week, so missing one does not wipe your run. WHAT'S COMING (New!) Your dashboard now shows the dates ahead of you: the day your residence time is complete, a test sitting, a rule taking effect, a waiting period ending. Turn on alerts for a handful a year, with notice, never a feed. Dates that are projections are marked as projections. YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR IPHONE (New!) Attach the evidence for each requirement on the Path tab. A certificate, a permit, a payslip — and note when it expires, so an expiry never catches you out. Documents stay on your iPhone, encrypted by iOS while it is locked. Belong Nordic never uploads them and never sees them. ALSO Rules for all four countries carry the August 2026 stamp, and Denmark's next citizenship test sitting is 25 November.

We're always improving. This update brings bug fixes, better performance and a more polished experience.

We've updated the app ahead of August. All four countries' rules refreshed, so your tracker is ready before the month begins. Every country snapshot carries the August 2026 stamp, with an honest read on what has and hasn't moved: — Denmark: naturalisation processing remains paused. The next citizenship test sitting is 25 November. Practice has full 45-question mocks. — Sweden: the new society test, medborgarskapsprovet, launches 15 August. The tracker and Practice tab are ready for it. — Norway: steady ground. No freeze, same B1 oral requirement. — Finland: the 2027 citizenship test is confirmed law, with official study material expected this autumn. Dates and stamps across the app now read August, so you always know how fresh your information is.

A NEW LOOK, AND A NEW ICON Belong Nordic now opens in Mediterranean, the warm light palette, and carries a new app icon: the Belong mark above the four Nordic flags. Prefer the original dark? Midnight is still here. Just go to the You tab, under Appearance. Your choice sticks from then on. OFFICIAL STUDY MATERIAL, ONE TAP AWAY The Practice tab now links straight to the authority behind your country's test: SIRI in Denmark, UDI in Norway, UHR in Sweden and Migri in Finland. ONE SUBSCRIPTION, iPHONE AND WEB APP Signed in with your Belong Nordic account? The You tab now takes you to the web app, so the same subscription works in any browser. Your tracker data never leaves this iPhone, only your email and subscription status are shared. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK There's a Contact row on the You tab now. It opens a mail draft and we read everything. As always: no fake finish dates, every rule dated and sourced.
