Hi genevaroth, "My grandfather was born in the netherlands and I would like to get dutch citezenship (eu citizenship) is this possible" No, I'm afraid acquiring Dutch nationality through your grandfather is not possible. How can I acquire Dutch nationality? There are three ways of acquiring Dutch nationality. 1. By law (automatically) By birth "Every child born of a married Dutch father or mother automatically acquires Dutch nationality, even if he or she is born outside the Netherlands, as does the child of an unmarried Dutch mother. NB: Children born before 1 January 1985 of a Dutch mother and a foreign father did not as a rule acquire Dutch nationality by birth." 2. Through the option procedure You may acquire Dutch nationality by making a declaration that you wish to become a Dutch citizen. This procedure is open to certain groups of people living in the Netherlands 3. Through naturalisation Naturalisation is the third way for foreign nationals to acquire Dutch nationality. Some former Dutch citizens can apply abroad to have their nationality restored through naturalisation. http://www.minbuza.nl/default.asp?CMS_ITEM=43B937F90ED34262AF4EA118768083B7X3X40718 Can my children become Dutch citizens if I acquire or regain Dutch nationality? http://www.minbuza.nl/default.asp?CMS_ITEM=4268664F6C4B480096E9BAD8985C5B7CX3X42687X11 FAQ http://www.minbuza.nl/default.asp?CMS_ITEM=AF9532E21DA3474DBCE836516126293BX1X60309X98 IND Residence Wizard: http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/verblijfwijzer_mijnsituatie.asp?proc=komen&procedure=Obtaining%20Dutch%20nationality&land=&duur=1&intro=mijnsituatie&lang=en I'm sorry I don't have better news.
