Out of curiosity, how does that work for temporary residents in
countries like The Netherlands or Finland where citizenship goes via
that of the parents and not via that of the country of birth. For
example, if someone with Dutch parents is born in Finland, the child
only gets Dutch citizenship and a Dutch passport. Are you saying they
can also claim Finish nationality?

Best wishes,
Mischa
