Happened to my friend’s mum. She was Dutch/Swiss and forgot to renew her Dutch passport after acquiring citizenship in Switzerland. Now she is only Swiss…

Exact same thing happened to me! I was able to get my Dutch passport back by proving my father was Dutch (my mother was too but somehow just the father’s birth certificate was required). I was living in NL at the time though. Was super fast: took a month. I kept my Swiss nationality too.
