Isn't the US one of the few (the only?) countries which makes this really hard?
Like, if I wanted to get rid of my citizenship (European country) all I need to do is get another one, it is void the second that happens. And even if it wasn't, I do have the right to get rid of the citizenship at any time, no reason or justification needed.
If I remember in the US it is not only expensive but also they for some reason have this system where they can deny you renouncing your citizenship.
- kbenson 4y agoMany countries allow dual citizenship, so I'm not sure just getting citizenship somewhere else is enough in every case. I'm not sure the specifics of when they deny renouncing citizenship, but if you don't have citizenship somewhere else or your visa to that country is as a U.S. citizen, I could see those as being valid cases for rejection until those are resolved (also if you have outstanding warrants or are under investigation for something).
