Ten percent of the Netherlands holds dual passports? That sounded high to me (dual Dutch-American citizen) so I looked it up, figured I'd post the stats I found: The Dutch population is 17.1MM, there are 1.3MM people with dual Dutch nationality [0]. The majority are Moroccan (321k) and Turkish (312k) people who acquired both Dutch and Turkish/Moroccan citizenship upon birth. Another 270k or so are EU citizens, plus a handful of Asians. Depending on the country, between 30-70% of people will have a passport, so my estimate is that 60% of dual citizens in this case will have two passports (may be lower as Turkish citizens can enter Turkey on another passport.) If 80% of dual citizens have both passports, then 6% of Dutch citizens own two passports; if 60% of dual citizens have both passports then 4% of Dutch citizens own two passports. Also worth noting there can be some very strange situations here - for example I (a Dutch/US citizen) moved from the US and lived in the Netherlands for almost a year before acquiring a Dutch passport.
