the detail is in actual implementation of norway.usembassy.gov If you have made the decision to renounce your citizenship, you need to make an appointment to come to the Embassy. An appointment is required as many documents need to be prepared by our staff ahead of time. In addition to your U.S. passport, you need to bring proof that you are (or soon will be) a citizen of another country. You must also prepare a written statement indicating why you wish to renounce your U.S. citizenship. Once you have completed the paperwork, it may take up to six months for the renunciation to be approved or denied by the Department of State in Washington, D.C.

and the hk consulate office had asked for psych reports. why is that so difficult to believe, however biased you may be. the consulate office simply does not want you to claim insanity at a later date.

in the mean time,

harpers.org is fun

expatfocus.com is costly

taxmeless.com is clinical

regardless, "easy" is a word that does not come readily to mind, and "freedom" is a far away thought.

just in in-tray, from 0.5 billionaire (well, at least as of end 2007 :0)

My biggest warning to all re tax is that the new game is to stop the runners. Think berlin wall, no man's land, and machine guns.

They want to keep the tax payers in at all costs. Once net around, it is a shame to loose the fish so to speak. So they will move quickly to pull up nets that are retro active , and prevent taxpayers from leaving without a very large exit / crystalization penalty

For the germans in crowd they are already very familiar with the penalties if try to shift from germany to switzerland.

For americans it is 5 years or more after leave that still an american for tax. Also will mean wealth tax , inheritance tax etc

Thru little tricks canada extending its net out 5 years for wealthy people. Ie if set up a trust 5 years within first 5 years of declaring non residence for tax purposes, that trust could be fully exposed to canada tax, of any link with canada ie beneficiary, assets etc.

Anyways name of game is tax more ! And the rich are easy targets as we move to the left and politicians want votes

Agree hk, switzerland and singapore. But even these will be under pressure from oecd. I am betting on hk for now.
