Most immigrants in the Netherlands that come from outside the EU have to pass the Civic Integration Exam (Inburgeringsexamen) in order to get a permanent Dutch resident permit or to apply for Dutch citizenship.

Would you like to get a permanent Dutch resident permit or get your own Dutch passport? Then you need to learn the Dutch language first and pass the Civic Integration Exam.

We will offer you our Integration Exam preparation training once you have successfully completed your A2 level course. We will give you all tools you need to pass the exam successfully. And we will also give you some practice test materials for your civic integration exam and all the information about the examination fees, exam locations, rules and registration you need. We have also a business partner who can help you to apply for your permanent Dutch resident permit or your Dutch passport.

This point is strongly related to the ones looking forward to staying in the Netherlands for a long time; most of the information about the Dutch rules and laws you need are in Dutch. Besides, whenever you approach an establishment or a government institution for many purposes, people will speak to you in Dutch. Learning to communicate effectively in Dutch is a priority, and it will open many doors for your personal and professional life.

It is very common to find English speakers among the Dutch population, so if you go to a bar or restaurant in the city, you will meet friendly people who will speak to you in English, but eventually, the conversation between them will turn to Dutch and you will feel locked out of their conversation, which can make you feel very sad, especially if you moved alone to our country.
