Is a foreign government going to extradite you for missing paperwork and no outstanding tax debts (especially because everyone else thinks it’s nuts that we require nonresident citizens to file taxes)? I guess it’s possible, but it strikes me as very unlikely.
But if you’re still financially attached to the US/likely to visit, they’ve got some power over you.
I’m not a lawyer or an accountant (obviously. This is not best practices)

Why would that strike you as unlikely? It’s extremely likely because most countries that people would want to flee to already have extradition agreements with the US.
All the US has to do is declare you a fugitive and those countries will pick you up and ship you back.
Especially with how petty this administration has been.

It’s usually too expensive to justify pursuing international cases, nevertheless don’t fuck with the IRS lol. That being said, people moving abroad to escape debt, such as student loans is not altogether uncommon.

As things stand now yeah I agree with you. However I think if more people were to start leaving the US to escape things here they would clamp down.
