- morpheuskafka 6y ago[Not OP; NAL] - As long as the primary purpose for renouncing your citizenship was not to avoid taxation, there is no direct consequence for immigration purposes. You can visit as a nonimmigrant according to the same visa requirements and procedures as someone else from your own country. If you want to become a citizen again, you will first have to find a way to get an immigrant visa or come on a dual-intent route like H1-B. Then live here for five years and apply to naturalize same as anyone else. The good news is even if you moved to a country like China or India with extra wait times for visas, it won't affect you since you were not born there. There are a few statues that disqualify renouncees from certain benefits such as owning a gun, IDK if you can ever get those back.
