    Even without disability; it’s expensive to revoke your citizenship and often requires a lot of hoops to jump through depending on what country you’re in. Probably easier in China compared to say, Cambodia or Uruguay simply because I imagine there’s more embassies in China.

    I hope your father’s work keeps paying out for you. I have a few friends in a situation with social security right now.

      He didn’t mention renouncing citizenship, though I agree that it can be tricky. The real problem would be getting a visa that allows you to work, and the language barrier (for most countries)

        I’d imagine if you leave and have no intention of returning revoking your citizenship is a good move. A lot of people bring up the “advantages” but with the coming state of the world I doubt it will have much advantage for more than two decades.

        But yeah, I agree with you. It really depends on the field of work you’re in, in all honesty. I don’t know their field or if they work at all; disability doesn’t automatically mean someone isn’t working either that be over the table or not.

          i mean theres also no disadvantage to keeping it whatever country u move to will almost certainly have a higher tax rate than the federal tax rate so its not like u loose anything. Renouncing ur citizenship is mostly a symbolic thing anyways, some countries dont even let u do it.
