In short: By the time a person is 18, they must effectively be able to communicate and understand conversationally in 2 languages and casually use them in daily life..., if not become completely fluent...

Other than that, any language goes (whether it is a locally-known one, or a popular one worldwide),

The only thing I hope to gain from this, is to rid the world of /Monolingual Betas/

Seriously though, has this been a policy before? Because I haven't heard of such one...

I think this can especially be used for citizenship...

Edit: I don't necessarily have any other presupposed requirements besides bilingualism, though we may have certain notions of such in this main goal

Edit II: In furthering this venture, I have realized that my liberalism may slightly poisoned my lens....

And for clarification...

Minimum dual language system:

Main national language + other language (likely another related language, but foreign ones are fine)

Come on, what about the Nordic countries and the Nederlands, as well? Besides their own respective languages, due to similar Germanic roots of their language and their need to interact with the Western world, I bet many of them speak English...

yes but for that to be relevant it would have to be local. If everyone in Norway speaks multiple languages that won't help you if you come from an area where everyone is monolingual.

Ok, honestly, I should've took that in account...
