You had to pay the US government more than two thousand dollars to renounce your citizenship for the last decade? And now it's going back to "only" 450 for the "consular services involved in processing a Certificate of Loss of Nationality".
Damn.

I mean, if you don't renounce citizenship, which is why so many people are trying to do it. Because also filing taxes in the US is a giant pain, with huge consequences if they think you messed up
oh yeah no I knew about the "we're going to keep making you file taxes even tho you don't live in our country and we do fuck all for you" because, you know, Capitalism
It's just, like you said, I heard Filing Taxes in the US is Not Great.
(Unlike Sweden, which is just "hey does this thing we sent you look right to you? click the checkbox on our website if it is" for the unaware people reading this)
