Talks in 2007-2012

This article is too short, cites no sources, and goes against Wikipedia's policy that it IS NOT a dictionary

Just created a new page to replace an incorrect link (pointing to a religious meaning of "renunciation"). Will keep adding more info tomorrow. Dr.007 05:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Sentence Removal

I removed the sentence "However, if you try to renounce now a days, the representitive will be reluctant to do so, persist in trying to change your mind, and attempt to trick you into saying something that will require you to pay 10 years of tribute to the United States government." from the "Regulations in different countries" section. Seems like baseless editorializing. --Justinfr 20:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

"Under normal procedures"

Source for this? I renounced my citizenship on 8 Dec 2008 and became a stateless person. My Certificate of Loss of Nationality is posted at my website, nostate.com. — Mike Gogulski ^{↗C•@•T↗} 17:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

• See, for example, 7 FAM 1215(e):

e. In making all these points clear to potentially stateless renunciants, the Department of State will, nevertheless, afford them their right to expatriate. We will accept and approve renunciations of persons who do not already possess another nationality. It should be noted, however, that if a foreign state deports such individuals, he or she may find themselves deported to the United States, the country of their former nationality. — Mike Gogulski ^{↗C•@•T↗} 17:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

~~ I removed a sentence referring to the Republic of Ireland, which stated that The RoI doesn not recognise revocations. It does - Section 21 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Acts 1956 to 2004 An Irish citizen may renounce his or her citizenship if she or he is:

   eighteen years or older,
   ordinarily resident abroad, and
   is, or is about to become, a citizen of another country.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.147.28.61 (talk) 11:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC) 

Statelessness

Gary Davis, inventor of "world citizenship" and Harmon Wilfred, to avoid deportation from New Zealand, are among those who famously renounced U.S. citizenship to deliberately become stateless. Andygx (talk) 10:23, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

I've corrected spelling and added wikilinks to the above. There is also Henry Martyn Noel, mentioned in the Gary Davis article. There are probably others. Also see the World Service Authority article; that organiation was apparently founded by Gary Davis. I'll leave the decision about what, if anything, to do with this info to editors more familiar with this article than I. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:05, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Common reasons for Renunciation of citizenship

Do you think it is possible and wiki-correct to add common reasons for Renunciation of citizenship or to add some research about it? Thanks, New worl (talk) 14:28, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Taxation of permanent residents of Japan

219.117.23.215 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) cites an Ernst & Young tax guide which says, in separate sections, "A permanent resident is an individual who is a Japanese national, or has been present in Japan for at least 5 years within the past 10 years" and "Permanent residents are subject to income tax on their worldwide income", and interprets this to mean that Japan taxes non-resident citizens on foreign-source income. However, as more detailed descriptions in academic works (e.g. [1]) make clear, the category of "permanent resident" refers to people who are actually resident in Japan; the only distinction on citizenship is that a citizen who comes to Japan after residing abroad is considered a permanent resident from the moment of his arrival in Japan, while a non-citizen of Japan is only considered a permanent resident for tax purposes if he actually has permanent residence immigration status or has lived in Japan for more than five years.

Mexico

I believe the section of this article related to Mexico to be incorrect, as the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores states that Mexico has allowed dual citizenship/nationality since 1998 and does not mention having to renounce other citizenships/nationalities upon naturalization.
