    If you are an American and you want the Dutch passport that badly, why not look for a job in Curacao. If you are lucky enough to find one, Americans have little trouble getting work permits. Live and work on Curacao for 5 years, then you are eligible to apply for a Dutch passport and become Dutch citizen.

      Now it’s more difficult than ever to get work permits as an American. Also do you mean as a college graduate 4 years bachelor American can get any jobs in curaçao or what about an uneducated high school graduate diploma student. Can I be eligible for work permit to live in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 or is that difficult?

    You should also talk about the Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) where US nationals just need to invest €4,500 in their OWN company to have an initial 2 years residency, and subsequently a 5 years renewal. No need for language, integration or hefty payments. Also, partners have unlimited access to the labour market as per amendments done on 2020

      I do have a question about this that I can not find the answer to. Maybe you can help me Mehlem Consulting. I am still trying to figure this out. I have an established bookkeeping business of 17 plus years I will be moving to NL in 2024 (99% of my clients will still be in the US as it is all remote work). My husband works with me but also does voice work and video editing. (sometimes he travels)
      Do we both need separate businesses established in order for both of us to work ? Or can it be one application ? He does not do what I do but we file everything together on our taxes and all of his income is 1099s. Should he start a company now to separate everything and we apply for 2 daft agreements (2 bank accounts with 4500EU in each) so that he can work or will he be able to work under my agreement? He WOULD be seeking jobs in NL and so would I but we have income remotely either way. I can not find this answer can you please help. Thank you so much.

BUT loosing nationality on getting another one (that is in principle because it depends how you get another nationality. if you did not request it and get it for example as a minor because your parents naturalized in another country you can get a dual nationality) Further taxes (especially wealth tax) are high. i still have real estate their (but because it is partly mortgaged the base for the wealth tax is nill) rental income not taxed. further moved my butt to LU, where there is no inherentance tax in the straight line, capital gains(hold >6m) not taxed.... so in the end only some interest and dividends taxed. and slowly working on a plan B for if the shit hits the fan. exploring austria and portugal.

    You have been talking before about the wealth taxes that are coming, well as a citizen of the Netherlands who fled the country because of the taxes, i can tell you it's already there in the Netherlands. It's called "box 3" . Let's say you have 3 million Euro in investments (outside of your main house that is), you'll have to pay 48.131 Euro per year in tax just for having it. Even if you are in the stock market and make a giant loss, they don't care ! Pay up ! and that's over 4000 Euro net a month. For a lot less than that you can live, tax free, in thailand in a pool villa have a pickup truck and a good lifestyle.
    So as a dutch citizen i say : Forget about the Netherlands unless you love paying taxes, it doesn't stop with box3, we have crazy taxes on cars, roadtax, fuel, electricity, gas and everything else. Nevermind the 21% sales tax on everything but food. I escaped 16 years ago, first to Germany and now to Thailand, those countries have their own problems but at least they don't grab cash from your bank accounts just for having it. If i could throw away my dutch passport i'd do it in a heartbeat.

You're right that the wealth tax is far from the worst part: the worst part is the 52% income tax while you still have to pay for health insurance and university education is getting more and more expensive. The Dutch system works better than many other 'socialist' systems, but you still have to know what you're signing up for and be willing to make that trade. On the bright side, their pension system is robust and generous. Personally, I don't see how I would manage to keep much money there. Is it a better place to be than Hungary? Undoubtedly...

      You and others brought up several good points agains it, and I'm starting to get what are the problems. Lucily so far it looks like most of those problems wouldn't be a problem for me. (High real estate prices are fine as long as I can sell even even higher in a few years, bad weather for most of the year is managable as I mostly want to use it as a home base and travel, etc)

    Hefty taxes, number 7 overpopulated country in Europe with 200 days of rain with , traffic infarcts, high rent and house prices, . Why would you apply for Dutch citizenship. Go live in Portugal or Croatia with more sun & fun, safer and nicer people.
