More Dutch people have a second passport

Almost one in every 15 Dutch people in the Netherlands have a second passport, according to a report by the national statistics agency CBS. At the start of 2005, some 977,000 people had both a Dutch and another passport, up 39,000 on the year before. The CBS said on Monday that 252,000 Turkish people in the Netherlands have both a Dutch and a Turkish passport. Moroccans are the second biggest dual nationality group in the Netherlands, with some 215,000 holding Dutch and Moroccan nationality. A quarter of the people with dual nationality come from another EU member state, while 14,000 people from Suriname, 12,500 US citizens and an equal number
of Egyptians also have a Dutch passport.
