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).

    NL makes you give up foreign passports upon becoming a citizen, but if you already have one you can get away with adding a US passport and simply not using it in NL. There are plenty of benefits to an EU passport and tbh as someone with both I find the EU much more valuable. Primary one being the ability to move freely, study, and work anywhere in the Union. If you ever plan on adopting it opens the door to easily studying abroad should they inherit EU citizenship (and EU universities are free vs the tens of thousands a single year costs in the US).
