If I move to a foreign country would I lose my US citizenship?

Answer 1

Only if you renounce your citizenship, or serve in another countries army or take a job for another countries government.

Answer 2

Nope, as long as you don't join that nation's military or get elected there. You could become a resident or whatever, because the US doesn't recognize the concept of dual citizenship.

The only way to lose your citizenship is to renounce it in front of a US consular office at a US Embassy in that country. Even if you do that, you cannot escape any criminal or civil issues that you have in the USA.

Answer 3

If you work in the new country without becoming a citizen of that country, and continue to file a US tax return on any salary earned while there, you should retain your US citizenship. If I were you, I would keep your US passport up to date too (don't let it expire). If you become a citizen of the new country, your US citizenship can be revoked.

Answer 4

You will become what is referred to as an ex patriot. Living abroad but still a citizen. If you denounce U.S. citizenship, take part in any terrorist activity against the U.S. or Israel, join another countries military, become a naturalized citizen of another country, then you will lose it.

Answer 5

No, unless you are naturalized (i.e., you apply to become a citizen of that country). As long as you do not participate in a foreign government (by voting, for example), you are sure to retain your U.S. citizenship.

Answer 6

no provided you do not become a citizen in that country...if you do you will surrender your Us citizenship

Answer 7

Nope. Born here, you are always a citizen.

Answer 8

Answer 9

No

Answer 10
