Who has to sit this exam?
Civic integration duty at A2: applies under the Wet inburgering 2013, or if your level was lowered to A2. Under the Wet inburgering 2021 the standard level is B1.
- You must pass every part within your integration deadline (usually 3 years).
- Each part is passed separately — failing one does not affect the others.
- KNM (Knowledge of Dutch Society): you need at least 27 of 45 correct.
- Under the Wet inburgering 2013, ONA (orientation on the Dutch labour market) is a separate portfolio, not a timed exam — it costs €40. Under the Wet inburgering 2021 it has been replaced by the MAP (Module Arbeidsmarkt en Participatie), arranged free of charge through your municipality.
