Recent months have seen a significant rise in the number of Palestinian-Syrian refugees, who have received the Swedish and Dutch nationalities, after they achieved the legal conditions for obtaining them, where conditions vary between the two countries.
According to Dutch law, a Palestinian-Syrian has the right to apply for Dutch citizenship, three years after his presence on the Dutch territory, in addition to achieving a certain level of Dutch learning.
While the Palestinian-Syrian refugee who has completed his presence in Sweden for four years can apply for Swedish citizenship. Sweden does not yet require any other conditions for obtaining its nationality. Sweden also grants its nationality directly to the newborn Palestinian-Syrian children, provided that one of their parents is a permanent resident in Sweden.
In general, the Netherlands and Sweden are countries whose refugee laws help to acquire citizenship, while countries such as Germany and Denmark are more stringent.
