Other reason
Can’t you manage to integrate because of a very exceptional personal situation? Is your situation not mentioned on the website and do you experience problems as a result? Sometimes you can still get an exemption: the exemption because of special personal circumstances (BIO). This exemption means you do not have to continue your integration. It matters under which act you are required to integrate: under the 2013 civic integration act or the 2021 civic integration act.
Conditions
These are the conditions:
- You don’t meet the conditions for other exemptions, dispensation for medical reasons, or extra time.
- The municipality cannot help you.
Are you required to integrate under the 2021 civic integration act ('Wet inburgering 2021') and do you meet the conditions? Then you can apply for the exemption.
Apply
- Ask your municipality for advice about your exceptional situation. And ask the municipality if you can apply for this exemption from the requirement to integrate.
- Fill out the 'Aanvraag bijzondere individuele omstandigheden (BIO)' form. You need to complete all the questions on the form.
- Send the form to:
