This is a pretty bad idea if you plan on doing anything for a living besides gambling, and because laws are never static.

It's a bad idea as without US citizenship, you will have troubles working in the US again. The US has also previously put people who renounce citizenship on a "no admit" list to the USA, so you would be unable to return to the US at all in the future (ie, you would be turned back at immigration if you flew in).

More citizenship info

"Note, incidentally, that former US citizens who are deemed to have renounced their US citizenship in order to avoid paying US taxes are barred from entering the US, under a 1996 act of Congress [Public Law 104-208, § 352; INA § 212(a)(10)(E); 8 USC § 1182(a)(10)(E)]."

Yeah, go for Swiss. By far the easiest to get, and no worries about military service since they are neutral and all.... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

You do realize that in most cases, "neutral" does not mean pacifist, but rather "I guess we are on our own against everybody."

Ummmm, exactly. You think the military service is the tough part, you should look into Swiss citizenship. Also, adjust sarcasm detector accordingly.

What, the [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] wasn't enough of a hint for you?

EU citizenship is very hard to get.

[3rdCheckRaise]

Try one of the Baltic countries of old Soviet block. THey sell citizinship for nominal price and working on getting into EU.

[Olof]

The Baltic states are already in the EU. I don't know if this has made it harder to become a citizen, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.
