    That’s probably most of them- but there’s other situations as well. Some countries require you renounce other citizenships to gain theirs.

      Getting pretty deep in the weeds so I may be wrong.

      But I believe in that case it’s not a voluntary renouncement, so it may be treated differently.

      But still, you gotta be pretty wealthy to owe any money. And with the state of America, the vast amount of Americans are more deserving of sympathy and they’re the ones we should be focusing on helping.

      They just don’t have the money for lawyers, PR campaigns, political donations, or the contacts of journalists as the wealthy people do.
