Dutch dual nationals abroad lose citizenship after 13 years without a valid document
The Netherlands automatically strips Dutch citizenship from dual nationals who live outside the Netherlands, the rest of the Kingdom, and the EU for 13 consecutive years without obtaining a new Dutch passport, ID card, or certificate of nationality. A qualifying document or a year of residence in the Kingdom or EU restarts the clock, and the loss runs by operation of law but can now be reviewed for proportionality after the fact.
