Common questions about inburgering.
How long do I have for my inburgering?
Under the Wet inburgering 2021 you have three years from the date of your residence permit. DUO can grant an extension in exceptional circumstances. It is important to start as early as possible.
Does TalkDutch help with the inburgering exam?
Yes. TalkDutch offers a complete learning path targeting the four NT2 exam skills: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Via AI conversation practice, video lessons and exam exercises you prepare for Staatsexamen NT2 Programma I (B1).
What if I don't pass the exam?
You can retake the NT2 exam. If you miss the integration deadline, DUO may impose a fine — but there are also possibilities for exemption or extension in special cases. TalkDutch offers targeted repeat modules for any skill you need to redo.
