Doesn't look as if your friend's information is correct. See the link.

You can "denounce" it all you want. However, "renouncing" is a much more complicated process.
You friend is a real a$$hole, BTW. People kill to get that little blue passport....you don't have to like it, but you gotta admit it is so much better than anything else....

I think I need a break from reading DR1 because no intiendo nada.

What can be gained by renouncing a US citizenship in order to get a lifetime visa to the US?????

what Am I missing here?

I've come back to take a crack at this again.

Did you maybe mean renounce his Dominican citizenship?

How about a lifetime of paying taxes on worldwide income???
or terrorist attempts?
As a "American" you should understand that you are US property! therefore the interest of the nation are above your personal interest. this sound considerable to me..
Sure america is much better then most countries, but then again it depends on your situation...
Any wealthy individual in his right mind should seriously consider waiving there american citizenship...
Let face it america is not all it's caught up to be... at least not today!
No offense to other americans on this board, but with your civil liberties being batch every day on the count on 9-11....The US suddenly does not look so attractive to those who can afford leaving confortably else where...
Good luck to your friend!

Anna, let me try to clear this up for you.

The "friend" (it's always a friend, eh, Bob?) has noticed how much a US visa is coveted by Dominicans and many others. Naturally, human nature being what it is, he wants one too. Unfortunately, it turns out he is ineligible for this highly prized status symbol by virtue of being a US citizen. Ergo, the only logical solution is...

Your thought process is quite shallow. Can you explain who literally millions of people around the world risk all they have to come to America?

You've swallowed way too much anti-American kool-aid bile.

People get stopped just as frequently in the Dominican airports as they do in the American airports, however people being stopped in the U.S. is more for safety reasons as opposed to monetary reasons in the D.R.
