What happens if you stop living in the US? (I realize very few people would do this, but I'm curious)

- cpursley 11y agoIf you leave the US, you don't stop being a US Citizen unless you revoke your citizenship. And most nations won't allow you to become a citizen if you have foreign debts. Also, expect to see more of these types of rules, since many student loans are backed by US Government entities: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2015/12/22/irs-gains-power-get-tax-scofflaws-passports-revoked/77417570/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2015/12/... > A new enforcement provision passed by Congress and signed into law earlier this month allows the government to revoke the passports of seriously delinquent tax scofflaws — people who owe more than $50,000 to Uncle Sam.
- GFischer 11y ago"most nations won't allow you to become a citizen if you have foreign debts" How will they know? AFAIK, my country, which has pretty lenient rules, only asks for proof of no criminal record at the time the application is filled. On the other hand, you can and will be extradited to the U.S. if you were found breaking their laws and their legal system does ask.
