      What’s preventing you from simply renouncing it then?

      I’m familiar with a handful of people who have done so, mostly due to the tax burden that this country places on them. The fee is a bit hefty, but it was better than continuing to pay taxes towards a country you don’t even live in.

        I pay enough taxes where I live, so I wouldn’t have to pay any more, only do the declaration. However, I really hate paper work and don’t plan on ever going back. Soo, no. If they want me, they need to come and get me. As I see it, we’re already split. Making it official would be to costly and not worth it. I just renounced my citizenship mentally - you know, like Trump. Since there is no rule of law anymore anyway, this is just as valid.
