Dutch nationals who are permanently or temporarily in Thailand residences can also vote. You must then register as a voter with the municipality of The Hague.

That is how it works:

You sign the form yourself;

You send the form as soon as possible with a copy of your proof of Dutch nationality (usually a copy of your passport). You can send the documents by post to:

    By voting, you give legitimacy to the things the government does in your name. Since some Dutch people have been very disappointed for decades, I choose not to give legitimacy to those imbeciles in The Hague. Not in my name is ruled by those people.

    I will never vote again I will not give legitimacy to The Hague.

      You no longer have to give The Hague legitimacy, Fluminis. They already have it and they will always have it without you. I will vote, if only as a counterbalance to those parties that I do not want in the government. By not voting you deprive yourself of the moral freedom to ever criticize any government again.
      @Gringo, thank you very much for your extremely useful and concrete info. That helps me a lot!
      Greetings from Siem Reap.

        They do have legitimacy until there are very many people like me who no longer want to be lied to by any party. If a majority of the people does not vote, it seems to me that the government cannot logically impose its nonsensical laws and regulations on the majority other than by force (which they already do).

        Of course I can always criticize people who put themselves above me and call themselves my ruler as governments actually do.
        When I consider moral liberty and the principles of justice flowing from it, it seems to me that the government should give me the right not to bind myself to them. However, they don't care about this and with violence they still subject me to their laws, just don't comply with the laws they have drawn up, such as paying taxes, and see how much violence they enforce this with.

      Anyway, I believe you vote. If it is 40%, 30% 20% 10% for example your lost vote will be shared 0.4 – 0.3 – 0.2 – 0.1

      So if you want jesters vote for the party of the animals or something… something will come out for creatures that have nothing to do with our stuff.

    Read this article this morning and the letter to The Hague has been on its way since this afternoon.
    Any party that is against double passport and for the country of residence principle of (for example) AOW is already out of the question for me.

    It is now ten years and a few weeks ago that I last cast my vote through the possibility that existed from Thailand.
    That was on Pim Fortuyn.
    Out of honorable memory, I have not exercised my right to vote since then.
    RIP Pam.

    • MCVeen says up

      I don't know if he himself would have thought it honorable to let go of your right to vote for our country, the Netherlands.

    By voting you hand over power to someone else. You give away your freedom.
    No one has to think for me or arrange things for me that supposedly would be good for me. If the people do not vote en masse, then you take the power away from the politicians and then the power is with the people. The people that are now squeezed to the last cent by those in power, all rules / laws are made up to squeeze us. And such a law/rule is then dressed up with a nice fungal story to make us believe that it really cannot be any other way. How long will we remain slaves?! So I don't vote, but luckily I know that it will all be different / better in a short time and then we will have real freedom. Please wait.

    Dear Bloggers.
    You have been informed via Thailandblog of the possibility to vote in NL, let's stick to Thailand for the rest.
    Dutch politics does not belong on this blog .
    It is bad enough that many Dutch people who have worked hard to enjoy their old age here can no longer live up to it because their promised savings have disappeared in the desert sand.
    The leftovers of the pig are enjoyed by the big boys with their mia noi in a champagne bath with caviar .
    W.Kok took your old sock, the workers' champion is the example by befriending Ali Ben Zine.
    Vote for the one you love.

  6. This article is interesting: http://www.rnw.nl/nederlands/video/politici-verrast-over-aantal-nederlanders-buitenland

    There are 700.000 Dutch citizens abroad, of which 500.000 are eligible to vote. That's 8 seats! If you consider that 1 seat can already determine a majority or not, I call on all Dutch people abroad to vote.

    • Robbie says up

      Completely and wholeheartedly agree! I totally agree. Those who do not vote are by definition governed by a party or coalition of parties that they do not want. If that coalition takes measures that are unpleasant, you have brought that on yourself. If only you should have voted for a party that represents YOUR opinion. Anyone who doesn't understand this should just continue with self-satisfied grumbling.
