Sounds good on paper, but you missed a small detail that people renouncing might want to consider: You can no longer live in the US. You will need to apply for a US visa to get back into the US to visit friends and family, and you may get rejected as the issuing officer may see that you recently renounced citizenship and considers you a risk of overstaying illegally.

- JimTheMan 5y agoRenouncing your citizenship is not something to do lightly. Assuming you are in the US, it is an irrevocable act.
- tim333 5y agoThere are benefits to being in the US though. There's a reason thousands of ambitious people move there.
- Trias11 5y agoIt's a math + value of freedoms really. I don't mind paying high taxes for high opportunity. But I DO mind when I have to sell my lifetime freedom as well. US wants citizens to pay taxes to US even if they don't live or work in US. This is BS.
