Is naturalization that complicated? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm from a non-eu Country and I might start working soon in Denmark. My goal would be to eventually naturalize.

I always see people saying that naturalization is hard in Denmark, but what is exactly "hard" about it? In theory, if I meet the residency requirement, have a clean record, and have been employed, I should be fine, right?

They do. The yearly citizenship test is very common for many danes to fail. Best I have seen is when a bunch of DF politicians took it, and a bit more than half failed it - was amazing.

If we expose foreignes to tests like these to get citizenship, we should kinda set the same expectations of current citizens! Like, fail this test and you don't get a passport, the right to vote, etc.

or maybe its just a test to see if you can actually care to give a shit about Denmark enough to spend ½ hour reading a pamphlet

Then ordinary citizens would have no issue parsing it either? If you don't give a shit, don't get rights.

if its about voting rights it should be a proper test, not read a pamphlet and put down 30 x

The issue with that kind of process will always be, who gets to decide the questions and how difficult the questions should be.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if most would fail to get most basic questions about our political system right.

I remember the numbers we got presented during the political behavioral classes on PoliSci were fairly depressing when you asked respondent what parties were in goverment, who the current state minister was, etc.

Devils advocate: it's not like they're expected to just know the answers in the test, there's reading material specifically to prepare for it

A LOT of it is acutally common knowledge or things you learn in 9-10 klasse

I would argue that some of the stuff you need to read for is pointless. It should be a test about how our society works, cultural norms and such. Things that are relevant to our society
