I'm an Italian citizen residing and working in the Netherlands. My wife is Brazilian. Does she need to pass a "Civic Integration exam" in order to join me in the Netherlands and apply for residence? According to ind.nl, the procedure to obtain a ["residence permit" or "mvv"][1] requires such exam. But to obtain a ["certificate of lawful residence"][2] (which is specific for family members of EU citizens) no such requirement is mentioned. As I understand, these are two alternate means for her to reside: one more general, another under EU "free movement" laws. Is this correct? Is this exam really not necessary in our case then (if we go through the EU procedure)?
