Over 1.1 million Dutch men and women have a second nationality, three times the number in 1995, according to new figures from the national statistics office CBS.

The increase is due to the high number of naturalisations in the second half of the 1990s, the CBS said. Between 1992 and 1997 people who became Dutch were allowed to keep their original nationality. That practice has since been stopped, unless it is impossible by law to renounce your original nationality.
Most of the people with dual nationality are also Turkish or Moroccan. Germans, British and Belgian nationals make up the top five.
