Integration

This issue contains 4 sections.

The aim of Dutch integration policy is to have everyone in the Netherlands, including newcomers, feel a sense of community with each other and involvement with the Netherlands. The government wants people who settle in the Netherlands to take part in Dutch society regardless of where they come from or what they believe in.

Immigrants who settle in the Netherlands must speak the language and be familiar with Dutch society. Municipalities will actively approach them so that they can take a civic integration course that matches their abilities.
