Refugees face uncertain future as Netherlands changes residency rules.

From the creator

Thousands of refugees in the Netherlands have been left in limbo after new rules ended the issuance of permanent asylum residency permits. The changes, introduced under the EU Migration Pact, mean refugees may instead receive temporary permits lasting three years. For those hoping to eventually become Dutch citizens, the changes could complicate their path to naturalisation, amid growing anti-immigrant sentiment in the country.
