Yes there ARE specific circumstances that allow dual citizenship... there are 3 specific ones, and I personally qualify under that. So please people, do research. Don't say ANYTHING about Dutch people until you have done RESEARCH. We are constantly being bashed and misrepresented by the media.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137408595594924239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3049425105725367380.post-72984652732094305192007-10-01T08:26:00.000+02:002007-10-01T08:26:00.000+02:00Ferdi,Interesting remark.

I think your passport cannot be taken away when you have not adopted a foreign nationality, as that would render you stateless. And as long as you have a Dutch passport, you are always free to enter the country. Obviously, you'll need to timely renew the passport at your local Dutch consulate...R.

You’re even allowed to join the Turkish army even if you have become a Dutch policeman. But if you're Dutch and become for example an Australian, you directly loose you're Dutch passport and can never come back.<BR/><BR/>But that’s not all, the rules are even weirder than that. If you’re going to work in a foreign country, even for a Dutch company but keep holding on to you’re Dutch passport. You are not allowed to come back to The Netherlands if you kept that job for more than 5 years. That’s why most Dutch employers do not allow their personnel to work more than 5 years overseas.<BR/><BR/>What a joke, in The Netherlands you’re a bump if you’re Dutch.

I thought it was on Elsevier, but I'm not sure. The WRR report actually suggests to change the law to make multiple passports possible.<BR/><BR/>All those immigrants that are currently allowed to break that law are being 'gedoogd', as in turning a blind eye. So maybe they don't dare to be strict towards your friend as there are almost a million precedents...R.

If I were to obtain US citizenship, my Dutch citizenship would be cancelled immediately."<BR/><BR/>This is not true, I think. I actually know someone who's currently going through the process of becoming an American, while retaining his Dutch passport.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, no comments.
