Is it really difficult for Dutch immigrants to pass the naturalization "integration test"?

# 中中中 # Introduction Everyone who wants to be naturalized in the Netherlands needs to take the Dutch exam. Many people even say no as soon as they hear the exam. Don't worry, Dutch is not as difficult as you think. Let me tell you the details, welcome to read!

First, let's find out who must take the integration exam.

The Netherlands stipulates that anyone from a non-EU country must take an integration test if he wants to be naturalized in the Netherlands or obtain permanent residency. Its purpose is to let you know the social rules of the Netherlands and integrate you into the social life of the Netherlands as soon as possible.

The following personnel must take the integration test:

18-65 years old, non-EU nationality, excluding Turkey, with Dutch residence permit.

Foreigners who come to the Netherlands to marry their partners or reunite with their families.

Note: Applicants for the integrated examination for marriage with their partners must meet the minimum income stipulated by the Dutch government, and the married partner is over 265,438+0 years old, and have passed the integrated examination of the Dutch Embassy before arriving in the Netherlands.

Immigrants applying for asylum do not need to take the integration test (but they still have to pass the integration test within 3 years after entering the Netherlands)

What will happen if I don't take the exam?

If they fail to pass the integration exam within three years, asylum seekers will face a fine of 65,438+0,250 euros until they pass the exam. However, if it is not passed, there is no need to worry about being repatriated, because EU law does not say that it will be repatriated.

If people from non-EU countries fail in the exam, they will not be able to obtain Dutch citizenship or permanent residency until they pass the exam.

What items do you need to take in the integration exam?

Listening: Choose the correct answer according to the daily conversation.

Oral English: Answer the questions according to the short film.

Reading: Read the article and answer the corresponding questions.

Writing: Write a short message and complete the form.

Social knowledge test: Play a video and answer questions about daily life in Holland.

Dutch labor market orientation: before the exam, candidates need to prepare an assignment about their work, and at the beginning of the exam, they will interview the examiner according to this assignment.

Everyone who takes the integration test needs to pay 350 euros.

Disadvantages of integrating into the exam

The policy of obtaining Dutch nationality or permanent residency by taking the Dutch exam has also been criticized. Some people think it is difficult to integrate into the exam, while Dutch teachers think it is unfair to integrate into the exam.

Future exam trends:

VVD, CDU, D66, Christian Union and other major Dutch political parties have recently reached a consensus, proposing to strengthen the curriculum guidance for the integration of new immigrants into Dutch society, starting with the language courses offered by the municipal government.
