Hello!
I've lived in Hilversum for 6 years, I work here, I live with my girlfriend. I'm thinking about dropping my UK nationality, and applying for Dutch citizenship instead. I'm inspired to do this because I live here, and I'd like to have a passport with which I can seamlessly travel around the European Union.
I've seen the inburgeringsexam and it's easy enough, I speak Dutch, I could do it.
Is there anything I would lose from renouncing my birth nationality that I wouldn't immediately expect?
Has anyone done it, and did you bump into anything a year down the line?
I don't plan on moving back to the UK, but maybe it would become very hard if I ever tried?
Getting a mortgage in the UK some day might be more difficult?
I understand that I wouldn't be able to vote on UK elections, but I don't live there, so that's fine, right?
I'm just brain-storming potential pitfalls with this idea, so please let me know if there's something I'm not thinking of.
