Conditions
If you wish to qualify for naturalisation, you must meet the following requirements:
You are aged 18 or over.
You have legally lived in the Netherlands, Bonaire, Saint Eustatius, Saba, Aruba, Curaçao or Saint Martin for an uninterrupted period of 5 years. You have always extended your residence permit on time. There are a number of exceptions (see below) to this rule. Please note that your residence permit must still be valid during the naturalisation procedure.
You have a valid permanent residence permit or a residence permit for a non-temporary purpose.
You are able to read, write, speak and understand Dutch. To demonstrate this you have to prove you have passed the Civic Integration Examination at level A-2, unless an exemption is applicable to you (for example when you already have another diploma).
In the previous 4 years you have not received a prison sentence, training or community service order or a large fine (€ 453.78 or more). Nor may there be any criminal proceedings pending against you.
You are prepared to renounce your current nationality. There are some exceptions to this requirement. If you do not renounce your existing nationality even though you are supposed to, your Dutch citizenship may be revoked. Please check the rules which apply in your country for renouncing your nationality (only in Dutch).
You have to attend the citizenship ceremony and during the ceremony you have to declare your allegiance to the Netherlands.
