10 years to get a passport in Netherlands

Hi everyone,

I've recently read about the proposed extension of the naturalisation period in the Netherlands from 5 to 10 years, and it's made me quite anxious. I moved to the Netherlands about 1.5 years ago on an HSM visa, and despite the high cost of living, I chose to stay because I believed I would be eligible for a passport after 5 years.

Now, I'm feeling very uncertain. My wife and I have started to integrate into Dutch culture, and we both have jobs here, making it difficult to consider relocating to another EU country.

What are the chances that this draft law will be implemented, and will it apply to everyone, including those who moved here before the law is passed?
