Hello, my husband is Dutch and we live in Texas. We have a very good life here. He’s planning on becoming a US citizen once he’s eligible but I’m not sure if we can keep both passports. If not, he said he was going to give up his Dutch citizenship. I was just wondering if there’s any benefits in keeping it (as we have no intention in ever living in Europe and he no longer has family there).

    You’re allowed to keep it.

    There’s a specific Dutch exception. However having both can be considered dual responsibilities also.

    I don’t believe the responsibilities are that different which is why there is an agreement concerning passports for Dutch people.

    I don’t quite know which agreement it is, but he won’t need to surrender his Dutch paspoort.
