Lol for real
I'm Danish-Italian citizen. If the US paid me for accepting a US citizenship I would run far away. Why? Because of citizenship taxation (US wants taxes even if you don't live in the US).
Make sure you did not crosse our border illegally.

Imagine getting denied a visa to the US after you renounced your citizenship. What would the reason even be. Obviously you’re probably not trying to move there illegally, because you renounced. It’s very interesting to think about
It's comes across as disloyal to the United States. You can get a Visa, but it will take time to pass after you renounce.
They deny you for spite for renouncing
I would like to hear real world experiences
They mainly want you to prove you have a permanent home and social ties somewhere else, so that you're not a risk for overstaying.
@NomadicInvestor My father returned to the Caribbean and renounced his citizenship and was rejected for a Visa at the same time. He established himself there (The Caribbean) with a stable income, job, house, bank accounts, credit cards, savings, retirement etc. After that (2-3yrs) they granted him a Visa to travel to the USA again. He visits us once every year or two now.
How does Renouncing Citizenship affect:
1 - Social Security
2 - 401k
3 - My U.S. house
Social security - not affected at all
401k - depends on the amount of
US House - not affected, foreigners can own property in the US
401(k) also depends on age & if it is a Roth or ordinary. Has it rolled over to an IRA? I mean presumably if you are leaving you are also likely leaving behind the US employer that created the plan.
@@barb8707 if it is social security retirement which you earned, you assume incorrectly, although it will be taxed at up to 30% federally as an FDAP payment, it could be less, but you earned it and renouncing does not change that fact.
@@WealthyExpat So, once you get to the correspondent age can you get your social security if you're not american and live in another country?

8:41 Spitting FACTS about my country! Thank you sir👏 👏 👏
Alot of people don't understand this guy is spettin truth about United state 95 percent of food you eat in USA is GMO
I've grown to appreciate this channel more and more ever since I realized that you understand the 'truth,' especially about the “ruling class”.
My concern is that at 61 is that if I gave up citizenship I 😢 would lose my social security income, which is my only source of income. While it's only around $12,000 annually, I don't know where I could work a few years in Europe and retire with more than $12,000. Heck, I can't even afford housing as a US citizen and have been homeless or living in shelters since 2010!
"Enjoy ur country, going downhill, enjoy the decline"
Wooh that's harsh dude, looks like someone's pissed about the US.

@@Ducktility As in when you open a bank account anywhere in the world, want to hold crypto, visit many countries and people don't hate you for being from a country that has started so many wars abroad and so many other situations... 😅
Or you can just reset it.
@@julionaya81More like all the people that love Americans for sending Trillions of US dollars (the World Reserve Currency by the way) to invaded countries to save their countries and lives.
Many countries of the world have better diets than the US because of the lack of government oversight on food additives and chemicals which lead to obesity and many other diseases and health problems. GMOs have a bad rap because the US Government doesn't enforce farmers for using toxic pesticides on them. It's usually not the GMO product (sweet corn, strawberries, bananas and many other common foods are GMO created by farmers), but the treatments. The US has also not banned the use of toxic food colors, preservatives and food products like High-Fructose Corn Syrup which is a killer because it is created from government sponsored farms.
Someone in the know.
The West, including the U.S is in sharpe decline.
Facts
/// oh yes we sure are , vary quick.
BECAUSE of the "certain group of people" he mentions twice in the video
That is defeatist believe. We are balancing with the rest of the world.
Bro your a beast. Congrats on your escape.
I have been living in the EU for almost 20yrs and have gain citizenship years ago. I am considering renouncing as well. I think that we are of different political stripes, as I moved here when Bush was re-elected president, I was out of there. I figure that I will never move back, plus I could never afford healthcare. Here, my healthcare is virtually free and meds as well. When I visit the US, I find reverse culture shock. I am looking to begin the process soon. I want to be able to make my last vote in November, and then I'll just be a Belgian. I can visit the US with an ESTA. Yes, it is an emotional decision. But, it just makes sense for me.
For those sitting on the fence, this video was invaluable. Thanks.
Do you think it’s better to move to Switzerland Scotland or Denmark ?
Switzerland, and it is not particularly close.
(From a US citizen in CH.)
You have not realised that the US passport does not have such great respect, it is less than Brazil, and it will get worse, it is already down to 44th on the list.
Canadian passport is better than the US passport, especially for living abroad
Not really. Most investments, private debt & equity, resource deals, bond, banking and brokerages are closed in Eurasia to American citizens, period. In some cases, you're also blocked from doing any business and even owning real estate.
Have fun with 65% capital gaines tax
USA wants 46 percent capital gains ?
Does that apply to green card holders too? Thanks @@davidrichards1741
Can you leave Canada without the jab?
I have a question:
I literally planned to find a way
to work in the US as a Doctor and obtain citizenship, but this video is giving me second thoughts.
So my question is, do you think it is worth it to work and build my future in the USA? is the American dream still alive OR did it die long ago?
Thank you
New American dream is to leave, i am counting my years, a year ago it was 10 more years, this year its 5 years, watch in 2 years will be packing my bags
As a doctor that might be a different situation.
Only you can answer that, but you will be taxed on your worldwide income even if you have just a green card so. If you're going to stay in the US till retirement or a very long time then it might be worth it but if you plan to use your USD money to invest abroad that's where the issues would arise and renouncing the citizenship later on if you have high net worth is cumbersome.
😎”Money doesn’t really make you happier. I’m a millionaire.” Remember, I said that because I have already got money and happiness.
@@RichFreedomDragon Well, it's not easy to be happy when you are living in poverty. It's much easier to be happy when you don't have to worry about how to pay your bills. Money buys you freedom so you don't have to be anyone's slave.
Thanks for helping others ❤
Thanks for the recap!
No regret for. I don’t paying taxes not living in the country.

Is us passport really that respected at the moment? Feel like most countries hate the Us right now or disslike them.
Being a U.S. citizen mostly matters to enter the US. Internationally there are better passports.
"And you can actually enjoy the decline, enjoy the country going downhill" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoy? Not likely, but if you ignore history you might expect it.
Just a curious question, if you renounced your citizenship and apply for a U.S. Visa, are you going to get it easily?
8:45 who are the group of people that controls the show?!!!
AIPAC?!
I am Canadian. When did you realize and/or made the decision to relinquish your citizenship. I wonder about the thought process beyond what your video shows.
I am Canadian too. Like uncle Sam will tax you abroad. In Canada they don't tax based on citizenship. I live in Singapore and I only pay Singapore tax.
What about all the money you put into social security over the years?
I’m Puerto Rican myself.. lots of people do the 6 months in pr live in the us the rest of the time.. I wanna be international and not pay tax lol I know there are some above the law folks around here that can just do whatever lol who would make way more than myself
Honestly I want to move to Europe, however; idk how to go about it. I would like go to either Germany, Sweden or Switzerland, permanently. I just need to find a way to get money to even start, well…& figuring out where to start in general- other than learning the language of the country I move to.
I thought we were “ Land of the Free”? I will just come through Mexico in the night hours.
Give it give up something you just add on. So what you should’ve did was just add on other citizenships don’t subtract.
Revux and Shopify's partnership is a potential mainstream explosion!
I think keeping a greencard and not getting an US citizenship is the smartest move. Unfortunately I was a minor and my father thought I was stupid of not whating a US passport.
Green card has the same issues with world wide taxation and reporting
@RomilCPatel it does. Having a greencard is much easier to give up, than citizenship. If enough people give up their citizenship, I could see the US make it to where you can not renounce your citizenship at all, especially to those born in the US. I worked with a few people at my last job, where thry refused to get US citizenship, because they were working here for the higher pay. Once they retire, they're going back to their birth country, and except for 1, all going back to Mexico. For one lady, since she gave birth to her children in the US, her children are automatically US citizens. Her current and former husbands are Mexican citizens on US green cards. Her children are also Mexican citizens as well, and will be up to her children, if they want to retain US citizenship. One lady I know, was born in the US to a US mother, and an Irish dad of the Republic of Ireland, and she recently got her Irish passport, as she's automatically an Irish citizen, based on her dad's citizenship to Republic of Ireland (most of Europe, including Republic of Ireland, don't base citizenship by being born in a European country, but the citizenship of the parent). I don't know what her long-term plans are for the US, if she'll stay here.
@@davenwin1973 exactly, I was forced into US citizen, I do have Brazilian citizenship too, I hate the US. It is just a sick society, Brazil is a banana republic, but the US is becoming one and I hate both the left and the right, the American right is just so arrogant and has no empathy, and the left is just so morally wrong, they are both authoritarian. I hate the US and wished I was never a US citizen. I prefer to be Brazilian even with a socialist thief as president.

Was it love, or was it noisiness? There get's to a point to where someone becomes so invasive, it's literally obsession. They are so ashamed of their actions and what they did to the point to where they don't even know how to tell me...... If you can't tell someone wtf you did because you know exactly what you did, perhaps you shouldn't have been doing that in the first place. Instead of addressing the situation, they find portals to initiate the conversation of the topic..... They want to control the outcome of my life but it is not up for controlling.
nice video. Thank you
How do you visit the US? Do you need to get a visa? Can you reacquire citizenship ever?
If you hold a passport from the EU you don’t need a visa to visit, just an ETA/ESTA (pre-travel authorization). The same applies for citizens from Canada, Chile, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, or any other developed/advanced country. You can visit for up to 90 days (with the exception of Canadians, who can visit for up to 180 days).
As for reacquiring citizenship, of course you can, but by naturalization. It doesn’t matter if you were born there, one you renounce you’re treated as a foreigner.
But if you were less than 30 days in the US you dont have to pay tax, Why you had to renounce if you literally live outaide?
Wealthy Expat, he was born in the United States of America, so he will never be anything else but American because he was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the USA.
Strictly speaking he is not American anymore. If anyone can become an American by crossing the border, can't one un-become an American by leaving?
@@arnoldvosloo220 💯
Americans, in the context of US citizenship, are a citizenship group, not an ethnic group. If he doesn't have US citizenship, he's no longer American. He will however always be latino though because he's from Puerto Rico.
@@evandewind4264you can be of a different race even though you were born in Puerto Rico. You will be Puerto Rican by birth, but you can be of any race. As a consequence, Puerto Rico being a U.S. territory, he is de facto American. This is the same as if someone was born in Florida, they will always be “Floridian” of any race but essentially they were American because they were born there. It’s the same thing.

Sounds like you took a L
An African like me is looking at these videos and wondering, what is wrong with this guy? A lot of people here will do anything to get the passport you renounced.
He has explained it to you, america is going downhill. And for globetrotters it's a liability to be an american citizen, you need to file taxes and declare everything even if you live full-time in other countries.
This guy has millions in the bank, and has passive income, that should explain it, and maybe don't come here either.
If you are wealthy you can save millions a year in taxes alone and ditch all the financial reporting requirements. If you are a "Poor", this doesn't apply to you.
Watch the video.
He is pretty damned clear about why US citizenship can be problematic.
His name is Wealthy Expat. He already has it made but wants to keep more of his earnings and wealth away from the reach of US tax laws and from politicians such as Biden who wants the rich to pay more taxes. Obviously he is not speaking to the average American.
Lmao "its a hassle getting a visa."
Why bother? Just get a flight to a Mexican border town and cross over saying you "fear for your life" in your home country. Bing bang boom. Done 🤣

No thats a misconception
Most nations are not on a banned list that prevents your from receiving your Social Security income, like North Korea or the "Stans". Social Security can withhold 25.5 percent of your benefits if you renounce and relocate abroad. Some people can lose nenefits such as "Survivors" or "Dependents".

Same here….Minus the family & friends. Don’t have any. I am also in Houston, Texas and I use my house to file tax every year.
Our family (and a house) are in the States, and we live overseas.
We find it pretty doable.
I lived in Houston. Okay place. The "city of strip malls" seemed to have most anything one would need. The local economy seemed to be questionable at times though it seemed to be functioning judging from the traffic and the pretty full carts at HEB and Walmart, but didn't matter to me since my income derived from the national GDP more than Houston's GDP.

None whatsoever!
Crypto is just too cryptic for me.
Eyeroll.. youre whole right wing nonsense was really disappointing
One thing to always "carefully" consider in your decision to renounce your US Citizenship is the loss of the US Rule of Law as it may apply in your future choice of your replacement adoptive Country of Citizenship
What? 😜🤪😆 All nations have their own legal system, one applicable to both foreign residents and citizens. Aside from using the dollar as weapon and corrupting state officials, USA has no jurisdiction in any foreign nation.
why is US rule of law so important to you ? other countries are not stuck in stone ages and got civilization too. :p
if it is about second amendment shenanigans: yep, it is void everywhere else and those countries still exist....very likely _because_ of the absence of such laws.
lol
What rule of law the one sided one. You're guilty now until you prove yourself in innocent, that can be tough if they bring charges from 20 years ago, just ask all ME TOO people accused of wrong doings.
Is Australian passport same as us , pros and cons

nah, seems more like accepting the inevitability of decline and focusing on personal well-being and happiness.... focus on leading a higher quality of life and mental resilience, rather than futile resistance... sometimes its better to let go and just enjoy
