Holland won’t welcome Pakistani immigrants not speaking Dutch
ISLAMABAD: The Dutch government on Monday passed a law aimed at heavily restricting the number of would-be Pakistani immigrants to the Netherlands, by linking applications to Dutch language proficiency, officials said.
Under the new law, any Dutch national of Pakistani origin will only be permitted to send for family members (with a view to settling in Holland) provided that they learn Dutch prior to immigration application.
Similarly, any Pakistani wishing to immigrate to the Netherlands will be required to take a language proficiency test at the Dutch Embassy in Islamabad. Anyone failing the test will automatically be denied the right to apply for immigration…

i dont think its just for pakistani's, i think its for non-EU members as awhole, altho im not 100% sure. I think its good and not racist because if you go to a country you should learn their language, not them trying to speak a lang with you(english most of the times) to make it easier for you
Re: Holland won’t welcome Pakistani immigrants not speaking Dutch
Not just for Pakistanis....was in the news and is a general statement for people who can not speak Dutch. In fact it's more broader than that....the aim of the govt is to dissuade any persons from migrating to their country that would not recognise the dutch liberal way of life. Their were other criterias such as people that cannot tolerate western female dress sense, dutch values etc...
