Day of the Dutch Abroad
3 September 2026 - Nieuwspoort, The Hague
"Opening up to dual nationality"
On Thursday, September 3, 2026, we will celebrate the third edition of the Day of the Dutch Abroad, with the opening up of dual nationality as the main theme this time.
It promises to be a strong program: among others, the spokespersons for D66, VVD, PRO, CDA (House of Representatives) and BBB (Senatories) have already confirmed their participation in the panel discussion. Under the leadership of moderator Frits Huffnagel (former Amsterdam Alderman, VVD), the private member's bill to amend nationality law will be discussed with these panelists.
The SNBN established the Day of the Dutch Abroad in 2024, and it is entirely focused on supporting and representing the interests of the more than one million Dutch people living outside the Netherlands. We organized this day together with other organizations such as the Foundation for Dutch Education Abroad, Dutch Students Worldwide, Stichting Goed, and the Association for the Representation of Interests of Dutch Pensioners Abroad.

About SNBN
Stichting Nederlanders Buiten Nederland (SNBN) was founded in 2019 and aims to represent the interests of Dutch people outside the Netherlands as well and effectively as possible.
As a board, we consist entirely of volunteers. We live all over the world and somehow run into (Dutch) obstacles abroad. This is, for example, in the field of nationality, pension, Dutch education, passports and participation in elections.
We want to work together to improve that. We see good contact with politics as the best way to represent the interests of Dutch people abroad. For politicians we are a source of information and a point of contact, for Dutch people outside the Netherlands we are the bridge to participation and change in politics in The Hague.
