Hello everyone!! Newbie here. I'm khin from Philippines and been looking for a site that I can get to know other people doing the same process as me or having the same goal of migrating to NL. I just took my Civic Integration exam last August 19 and still waiting for the result. Bit nervous but Im positive i will pass. Cross finger ;) . Hoping to meet new people here. Thanks!

Hello po. ..komusta. .? How's the exam. ? Is that  difficult. ? How many  question  they give for reading exam. ? Do it need  appointment first before  going to the embassy  to take exam. ? Pls guide me. .thank u

Khinvdijk

Hello! The exam  is quite simple. The speaking test was not that hard especially if u know lots of dutch vocabulary cos from the exam you onlu need to complete the sentence by adding one word. The reading test also not so hard cos there are choices given and the KNS most of all questions are from the naarnederland.nl website. I also bought book from ad appel which also helped me but i suggest get some learning materials at naarnederland.nl cos it's really helpful and they also have demo on how to make the exam and also the same as what the embassy will show u. The more Dutch vocabularies you know the better.
I'm still waiting for the result and I'm actually bit nervous but hoping will get it within a month rather than 2 months.

Btw regarding the appointment Yes you have to make an appointment first before youn can take the exam and please take note you have to pay first the DUO for the exam and wait for the payment confirmation and send it to Embassy when making an appointment.

For my teaching materials  and my bf also  buy for me prisma  book. .. and my bf told me to enroll  dutch language school in Phil  when I arrive. ..but if the  exams u can find only in naanetherland ...I think no need to go into school  ..cos very expensive...thank you  again kabayan for the info..

It's very impolite to ignore my reply to stick only to the English language.

As for your safety it's not recommended to give any personal details on a public forum.
If you want to exchange do it through the pm system.

I asked the moderator to delete your telephone number and when it's done, your post comes back.

If you still ignoring my instructions I request the team to close this thread.

Hi primadona.. Sorry if i didn't notice your comment,  I'm still not used of this site and still learning. I also thought the it was PM have to double check again but thanks so much for letting me know.. Will just delete my reply with my number. Thanks!

Primadonna

No worries.

My apologies to you if I sounded to harsh. Didn't realise you have to find your way here.
If you have questions how to use this site or on any other subject, don't hesitate to ask them.

As for your post,  it's been already deleted by the mod.

All the best  :)

Khinvdijk

Thanks!!! 😊

Hello kabayan..I'm sorry. ..I didn't know  that not allowed  to ask personal number here. .but anyway  thank you  so much  for the info  about the MVV exam..I do search...me I know your real name kabayan. .? Thank u...

Primadonna

Of course it is allowed to ask someone's personal contact info for further information or meetings.
But it is not safe to POST on the public forum.
You never know who's reading it and taking advantage of it. This is why we recommend not to give any personal information on the forum. What comes on the web, stays on the web.

It's better to exchange trough the pm system.

Take care everyone.

Khinvdijk

Yes you can but through PM only as what primadona explained. I'll pm you details so we can get in touch
