All the examples listed in Wiki seem very different from what OP is talking about. Most of the stateless persons are located in 4 counties. Crazy.
Comment on How does renouncing citizenship work?
alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 month agoYeah, being stateless is really bad. There’s a few international agreements to avoid the creation of more stateless people, but it still happens.

Exactly what I was wondering, thanks. I assume you have to renounce before acquiring a new citizenship? No thanks.

No, other way around. Most countries won’t even allow you to renounce if you don’t have another citizenship.
The US also charges $10,000 dollars to accept your renunciation. The US is one of the few countries that taxes its citizens in foreign countries. There is a substantial tax deduction for the first ~150K you earn in another country, as long as you spend less than 10 days in America or traveling and pay taxes in that country, as long as that country has such an agreement with the US.

It’s $2350 to renounce, not $10k.
