Comment on What would happen if you maxxed out your credit cards and line of credit then moved to some village in the phillipines?

  So theoretically someone could actually take out a ton of loans and move to a country that doesn’t have an extradition agreement?

    Theoretically, yes. But then you would be a US citizen in a foreign country. Eventually, that country will make you either leave or become a citizen.

    Also, even though extradition wouldn’t be possible, deportation might still be on the table if you piss off the wrong people the right way.

    You might also want to consider the chance of the countries having an extradition agreement in the future

    What everyone is missing here is that you need a visa, and eventually your passport will expire and you’ll need a new one. Regardless of the extradition angle, the local government will care about your immigration status.

    What you’ll probably want to also need to do is marry a local for residency. They’ll want you to spend that money on them, so…
