"A new immigration law is passed on the 15th March 2006 in the Netherlands. Foreign people, who want to stay in the Netherlands for more than three months, have to pass a 'civic integration exam' to apply for a temporary residence permit. This applies for foreign people, who want to form a family with someone in this country or to reunite with family members already living in the Netherlands. Religious leaders, coming to the Netherlands for employment, such as imams and preachers, also have to do the exam. "
