The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has confirmed that a ticket is confirmed only when the Swish payment has been received, based on an email seen by Ekot. ' About 4,300 Swedes are located in Dubai, though it is unclear how many are affected by the payment requirement. Criticism has been directed at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs for having to Swish money to get home from Dubai, but the specific nature of this criticism has not been detailed.
According to Aftonbladet, most travelers will probably get a refund, but the exact reason for this potential refund and the timeline for the process remain unknown. The reason why Swedes in Dubai need to pay via Swish to return home has not been disclosed by authorities.
The ticket is confirmed only when the Swish payment has been received.
It would mean about 12,000 kronor for an adult and 9,000 for children and free for children under two years.
