- kbouck 8y agoI can confirm this. According to my Netherlands immigration lawyer I can acquire Dutch citizenship because my wife is a Dutch citizen, without needing to renounce my US citizenship.
- matttproud 8y agoMy guess is that acquisition-by-marriage falls under a different rules category than vanilla naturalization by time and integration and learning the civics and language, which is the pathway an adult would have to take moving to a place where there was no bloodline binding.
