I have New Zealand citizenship with a New Zealand passport. Having lived here and worked here for 18 years it was a reasonable move and I more than qualified. I paid NZ$470.20 for the citizenship and NZ$199.00 for the passport.

I'm not going to give up my US citizenship because that triggers a process where they put me under the microscope and while I think I'm clean, I don't want to risk some over-zealous IRS agent deciding to extort me, or some other agent deciding I said something online that makes me a special target of some secret government program. So I will keep filing my FinCEN and my US tax returns every year, where basically I owe $0 each time. PITA though.

Don't get rugpulled by wealth taxes. When nation's economies fail, they get desperate.

Wealth tax already in place here in Italy for any investments held outside the country. 🤬 it’s fucking criminal.

Move, please. Stop feeding parasites. It's your moral duty not to.
