In the exam (Estonian)
Välismaa teadlane ei oska eesti keelt ega ole teinud põhiseaduse ja kodakondsuse seaduse eksamit. Valitsus tahab anda talle kodakondsuse eriliste teenete eest. Mis on õige?
- aIt is possible if he takes both exams within three years after receiving citizenshipOn võimalik, kui ta teeb mõlemad eksamid kolme aasta jooksul pärast kodakondsuse saamist
- bIt is possible, because these requirements may be waived for a person with special meritsOn võimalik, sest erilise teenega inimesele võib need nõuded jätta kohaldamataCorrect answer
- cIt is not possible, because the language exam and the exam on the laws are compulsory for everyoneEi ole võimalik, sest keele- ja seaduste eksam on kõigile kohustuslik
Why?
Under KodS § 10(1), the conditions listed in § 6, points 2–4, may be waived for a person with special merits. These include knowledge of the Estonian language (point 3) and knowledge of the Constitution and the Citizenship Act (point 4).
