While there are governments that are not
keen on dual citizenship, there are those who are quite open to the idea. That
is why the Dutch should be quite grateful to its government as it has already
disclosed that even if the United Kingdom pushes on with its plans of exiting
the European Union, Dutch citizens who are living in the United Kingdom can
continue living there as a citizen and also still be a citizen of Netherlands.
This is all thanks to the new government of
Netherlands that has allowed all of its citizens who are currently living in
Britain to actually go for dual citizenship as it now allows such. An agreement
on this was completed by the coalition and it was announced to the public just
this week. This agreement has been put together promising to give priority to
Dutch citizens as well as
the unity in the European Union even with the looming
possible exit of the UK from the European Union. With this move, it looks like
it is good news for those Dutch who would be affected by such an agreement.
How
the agreement came to be
It took a total of 208 days for the
agreement to be made. There were four parties involved in the making of this
and it was headed by Mark Rutte, the Netherlands’ prime minister. For this new
government, it is all about being center-right and not leaning anywhere else.
That is why they made sure that the whole dual citizenship situation would not
negatively affect those who are already enjoying UK citizenship.
The four parties involved in the making of
the agreement included the Christian Democrats, the Union D66 party, the
Christian Union, and the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy. They worked
on the agreement which also included talks and planning for cuts in taxes as
well as identity as a citizen of Netherlands.
The group also worked on pushing towards
good deals for the country when the exit does happen. They also believe in
being solid and one with the European Union despite still being in good terms
with the United Kingdom which is very essential.
The
changes
Before the agreement was created, all Dutch
citizens with a UK citizenship had to have their Netherlands passport taken
from them because the Netherlands has limits when it comes to dual citizenship.
However, these individuals had to get a citizenship in Britain because they
needed such so that they would not have to leave the country once the exit
happens.
This is no longer a problem today as the
new agreement now allows for Dutch nationals to have dual citizenship in the
United Kingdom. Problem solved.
