      Well theoretically at least you could tax the shit out of rich people even if they “flee” the country. Here in France it’s always “no lo no we can’t tax the rich because then they’ll leave!!”

      Basically you’re paying for the right to vote in national elections as well as Seal Team 6 hostage rescue if you should get captured by terrorists or whatever.

  They also make you show up to a US embassy and tell the American flag you don’t want to be friends anymore.

  It’s never been more true, the old saying that freedom ain’t free.

  I’ve become an immigrant in the UK a few years ago when I had the good luck to convince myself all of this would happen sooner or later. Kept my citizenship so far because I wanted to vote against him this time. What’s your story?

      Not bad! It’s a dictatorship, but aside from that I hear it’s quite a good standard of living. And I hear the food scene is immense.

  Ironically, formally renouncing your citizenship doesn’t sound like much of an Irish goodbye

  Why not sell it? Show them you can play the capitalist game too! I’m sure there’s a few nazis that would pay for it.

      Singapore doesn’t do PR? Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship either but basically the only thing you gain over PR is voting rights. If you make good money (over $100000) you have to pay some taxes back to the US but otherwise you only have to pay one country.

  What is the benefit of this?

  • Buffalox@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    If you are US citizen, you must still pay taxes to USA when you work and live in another country.
    IDK if there are other things, but that’s pretty major for some people.

    • cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      you only have to pay those if you plan on returning to the US

      this is not legal advice

      There is a fairly misunderstood tax rule which lets US persons working abroad for more than 330 days per year to exclude a reasonably large chunk of income: www.irs.gov/…/foreign-earned-income-exclusion

  Did you renounce before or after getting Singaporean citizenship? Like did you have dual citizenship for a few days, or no citizenship for a few days?

• taiyang@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Reading the comments, I’d say it’s worth it. Singapore fucking rocks. Be sure to celebrate with some chili crab or at least a bowl of laksa. Heck, the savings on cheap and beautiful chicken rice alone would make to for that passport cost!
