That's up to the countries where they are. But if they can't speak the language of that country, how can they ever integrate?
When British ex pats in Spain fall ill, as they do as many of them are retired, they expect Spanish doctors and nurses and hospital receptionists and pharmacists and etc etc to speak English.... (I've seen this first hand) If I were Spanish I would tell the lot of them to sod off.
