how to get citizenship in another country
 

I really don't like living in the US, How do I get the fuck out of here.

by boat or air

find a cute girl and marry her

find your country of choice ( I recommend researching heavily exchange rate vs cost of living )

then research if they allow citizenship either by investment, length of stay, application and so on :)

Wrap a turban around your head and Canada will welcome you with open arms

hahahhahahhahahaha !

So true lol

Why dont you like living in the US?

Yes please tell us.

What he said. Just know that if the IRS thinks you are leaving (renouncing your citizenship) to evade taxes, they can still tax you for up to 10 more years.

If you have the funds and the time to put into getting citizenship abroad, then do your research and get on it.

If you don't know then it won't make sense to you if he tries to explain it.

For me, I just prefer something different. Different smells, different noises, different language. I also prefer a true free way of life with fewer hassles, less policy, less big brother, less tax and pretty much live life by my rules.

With that said, you will always exchange one set of problems for the other when living abroad, though the latter usually is much easier to deal with and money can usually fix anything if you choose to live in a developing country. I still have stupid things I have to deal with like cultural differences or language issues, but I'll take that any day of the week over having to live in the States. I did that for 30 something years and evolved into a person of the world and no longer consider myself to simply be "American." I am Human, not American. Earth is where I live and play. To think otherwise is just holding yourself down in life, which often goes hand and hand with the ideals of the USA. :2 cents:

Unless you share a brain with him. How do you know what his reason is? I have no doubt its amazing but im curious about his reason.

Find a low cost of living also.:2 cents:

become jewish, convince a couple of rabbi's you're really a practicing jew and then you can get israeli citizenship/passport

I would not be renouncing any US citizenship.

if u are american u still gotta pay taxes..

What's that have to do with anything?

Though if you renounce your citizenship, you are no longer a united states citizen. :2 cents:

He is my better half. :upsidedow

No, I don't HIS reason but expats usually share similar reasons be it to lower your tax burden (which you can do legally after a certain amount of time) or just find a new way of life. Since he said, "I really don't like living in the US" it would probably fall under one of those two things. His statement was fairly to the point and by the sound of it he could probably write an enormous list of things he doesn't like about the USA. But to his surprise he will also be able to write a list of things he doesn't like about any new place he may end up. While he may find a more laid back and cheaper lifestyle, which could up his quality of life, "paridise" is a state of mind, not a place.

Living abroad kicks ass. I think everyone should do it at least for a few years of their life if for nothing else than to open your mind to another way of living and thinking.

Gotta agree with this. Even though I have yet to make the move myself. It's going to happen in the next few years.

Gotta admit though, I would probably be Bangkok... I love the place and have been 5 times in the past couple of years :winkwink:
Don't think I could do Pattaya for any length of time, though the odd weekend would be cool :pimp

Well said.

:thumbsup

I got my British citizenship for living here for 9 years prior to applying (now nearly 13 years) and having been married to a British guy for those years. That and the money I paid for the application fee.

I have dual citizenship though. I didn't want to give up my American citizenship.

Fuck giving up US citizenship

I wouldn't want to give up my British Citizenship... that passport gets anywhere :)

:thumbsup

This is the best way. I would also consider an extended stay on a temp basis in the country you choose to make sure that you like it. 3 to 6 months or so.

If you want to consider mexico hit me on ICQ I can give you some info.


I dont under stand what makes you think the IRS gives a shit where you live.

Living outside the US you still pay taxes. Nice thing is, if you EARN money from outside the US you have to make MORE to have to report. So in effect you get a break.

Japan is relaxing its immigration policy to combat the increasingly high average age in that country (low birthrate plus high life expectancy makes that place look like fucking Florida!)
