What is Dutch Permanent Residency and Dutch Nationality?
Foreign nationals who have lived in the Netherlands for a qualifying period may be eligible for permanent residency or Dutch nationality, both of which provide longterm security and expanded rights.
A permanent residence permit allows non-EU nationals to live and work in the Netherlands indefinitely, without the need to renew temporary permits.
Dutch nationality through naturalisation grants full citizenship rights, including a Dutch passport and voting rights.
Our immigration lawyers help you understand the requirements and prepare a strong application for the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).
