How to Expatriate from the United States

With the United States in political turmoil, many Americans are considering giving up their U.S. person status. When a U.S. person is a visa holder (such as H-1B, L-1, or B1/B2) or a nonresident who meets the substantial presence test, giving up their U.S. status is (relatively) easy. All they have to do to avoid U.S. person status is not meet the substantial presence test going forward -- there is not much formality to it other than possibly having to file for an IRS sailing permit.

If the person is a legal permanent resident who qualifies as a long-term resident or a U.S. citizen, then they have to formally expatriate in order to give up their U.S. person status.

The process of formally relinquishing a green card or renouncing U.S. citizenship is referred to as expatriation -- and the process has many steps to it, including making formal representations to the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of State and/or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
