Obtaining Dutch Citizenship on St Maarten
Today's St Maarten Daily Herald has an article about obtaining Dutch
citizenship on St Maarten. http://www.thedailyherald.com/news/d...atural103.html A few parts of the story that I found interesting: =========== "before an applicant submits his or her request for naturalisation he or she must first be interviewed by the Dutch Citizenship Committee that has been established by the Lt. Governor. “The sole purpose of the interview is to determine if the applicant has sufficient knowledge of the St. Maarten, Antillean and Dutch constitutions and that he or she has sufficiently integrated himself or herself within the St. Maarten community" "The interviews will be conducted in the English language and the applicant should be able to conduct a conversation in this language. “A negative outcome can be the result when the applicant is not versed in the English language and lacks sufficient knowledge of the general and constitutional affairs of St. Maarten, the Netherlands Antilles and the Dutch Kingdom.” ============= Apparently there is a possibility for the interview to be conducted in Dutch, but it seems that English is still a requirement! |
