Supplementary notes

The source explains that naturalisation is possible after a minimum of five years continuous residence in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles or Aruba. A naturalization test is part of the process. Earlier naturalization is possible for people who have previously had the Dutch nationality, people who have been married or have been in a long-term relationship with a Dutch citizen for at least three years.
