Aug 10, 2017 at 11:49 comment added Shakestycoon @phoog True..it is however difficult (even impossible) to find the 'free' time to move to the Netherlands or visit for an extended time period given work commitments. I have to refresh my Dutch language skills and find a way to study for the exams amidst the demands of everyday life.
Aug 10, 2017 at 11:34 comment added phoog Shakestycoon if you move together to the Netherlands it won't interrupt the three years of living together. Also, a visit to the Netherlands without your spouse while you maintain your residence together in the UK should not interrupt the three-year period.
Aug 10, 2017 at 11:01 comment added Shakestycoon @phoog I doubt that it is easier to acquire a British citizenship given the uncertainties around BREXIT. My 5 year EU partner permit is valid until 2020 at which point I may be able to get an indefinite leave to remain - all things being equal. British citizenship is thus some 8 years away for me.
Aug 10, 2017 at 10:59 comment added Shakestycoon @Gala that is indeed an option. However, the requirement is that we are living together for at least 3 years without breaks so to move to the Netherlands even briefly means messing up the 3 years continuous living together. The other option is to take the exams at the Dutch Embassy in London which I will be pursuing

Aug 8, 2017 at 14:06 comment added phoog It seems to me that you might more easily acquire British citizenship, since youlive in the UK.
Aug 8, 2017 at 12:07 comment added Gala Could one option be to follow a course or pass an exam in the Netherlands? It's highly impractical but does not seem forbidden.
