Verlenging naturalisatietermijnen

I respectfully request authorities to reconsider this proposal. While, I understand the government's right to amend its laws, such changes should not negatively impact those who made life-altering decisions based on the existing rule.

I personally integrate into Dutch society well—learning the language, embracing the culture and values, paying taxes, and adhering to the rules and Dutch laws.

To follow this path, I gave up a social security and pensionable job in my home country—a difficult decision made with trust in the fairness and stability of Dutch institutions. If the 10-year requirement is applied, would be very difficult for next steps for the persons like me.

I am due to become eligible for naturalization as per the present laws around 2028. Based on this, we have planned to reinvest in the Netherlands by selling assets from our home country after obtaining citizenship. A sudden retroactive change would derail these plans.

We therefore request the respected Dutch authorities to consider these aspects before change any current situation.

To ensure fairness, maintain trust in Dutch institutions, and respect the expectations of law-abiding residents, I request the Dutch government to kindly reconsider this new proposal.
