To obtain Dutch citizenship as a Syrian refugee, one must follow several steps, starting with applying for a temporary asylum permit. After five years, a permanent residence permit can be obtained. Integration is required, including achieving B1-level proficiency in Dutch and passing an integration exam. The final step is a mandatory naturalization ceremony, where the Declaration of Connectedness is taken, affirming respect for the Netherlands. Participants receive a Certificate of Citizenship, enabling them to collect a passport. Naturalization ceremonies occur throughout the year, with increased focus on National Naturalization Day.
