Dutch officials at first tried to figure out the law but eventually said "screw it" and tore up the paperwork. I believe I did enter the country in 2014 with only an American passport, but that may have been 2013. In the past 2 years however I have entered the Netherlands many times with only my Dutch passport. Dutch friends of mine have entered w/o Dutch passport but I'm not sure when. | |

(I suppose that the passport database might still record foreign passports, though; I last renewed my Dutch passport in 2014 so I don't know whether they've stopped asking about foreign passports in the application.) | |
