Over 1.1 million Dutch people have two nationalities

NRC International, by our news staff, 15 December 2009 11:53

A growing number of Dutch people have dual citizenship, according to figures released by the statistics office CBS on Monday. In spite of restrictive government policies, 1.1 million now have at least two passports.

There was a significant increase in dual citizens in the 1990s, when many immigrants chose to be naturalised while retaining their original nationality as well. In 1997 the government introduced the principle beetje vaag that people who become Dutch should renounce their previous citizenship, but some exceptions to this rule exist.

Some countries, including Morocco, don't allow their citizens to give up there nationality. Naturalised citizens who might suffer financially if they give up their original nationality are not required to do so. Turkish people often qualify, since they stand to lose inheritance rights by giving up their old nationality. Most dual citizens have either Turkish or Moroccan roots.

Since 2003 most new dual citizens are under age. Children born to at least one parent with a Dutch and a foreign passport automatically get both nationalities. Minors whose parents are naturalised are allowed to keep their original passports alongside their newly-acquired Dutch ones. They have to choose which they want to keep at the age of 18.

In February 2007, anti-immigrant politician Geert Wilders questioned the loyalty of politicians who hold dual citizenship. His Party for Freedom (PVV) tried to block the inauguration of two deputy ministers in the fourth Balkenende cabinet: Ahmed Aboutaleb, now the mayor of Rotterdam, and Nebahat Albayrak, currently still deputy minister of justice. Aboutaleb was born in Morocco and still hold that country's nationality. Albayrak also has a Turkish passport.

"It is unacceptable that people with an allegiance to another country are members of our cabinet," Wilders told NRC Handelsblad at the time. However, his party's no-confidence motion against the Labour politicians got no support in parliament.
