Some people got concerned, but the majority didn't, thinking that this bill won't apply to them and it will only apply to newcomers.
It makes me believe that we need to still raise more awareness regarding this issue, especially with our colleagues.
Because of this, it'd be great if we can have a raise-…

The government, despite falling, has decided to push through changes related to making the citizenship period 10 years. This could potentially impact you even if you are already living in the Netherlands ‼️
They aim is to have a bill prepared for this by Q4 2025.
We need to raise awareness to make sure these changes don't apply to HSMs for now.
How can you help?
