Wilbur Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted February 18, 2020 I have dual citizenship, Canada and UK. I can renounce either but must keep one. To get to zero citizenship, I would have to acquire US citizenship, then renounce the Canadian or UK (whatever I kept ) and then renounce US citizenship. I would then be a non-citizen of everywhere. The US is one of the only nations that allows renouncing citizenship without a succesor. This came about by having a beer with my immigration lawyer, neighbour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx Posted February 18, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 18, 2020 In your case because your parents are not Americans then American Samoa would probably do as well. They are the only nation to have a non citizenship class. But you would have to be born there to be a non citizen. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/787978353/american-samoans-citizenship-status-still-in-limbo-after-judge-issues-stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure. I just found it interesting the US was the only country to allow it without an alternate citizenship. Maybe because you have rights and the rest of us only have privilege.
