new rules for dual citizens?

[steeeeve 24]

i just saw this video 

 

which i suspect is AI slop but not sure

 

one of the main points is that dual citizens may be required to prove ties to the US to renew a US passport.

 

i've renewed my US passport twice in Thailand already without incident and although i'm living in the US at the moment i will move back to Thailand one day. i wonder if this is going to become an issue?

 

(BTW, i'm asking for me this time, usually i ask about my wife's N400 process but now i'm worried about me too because i'm a dual citizen US and UK)

Seems this would require some action by Congress which I doubt will come anytime soon.

Agee here - IMHO, this would require legislation. People are making a LOT of money from page clicks and video views by making a big scary headline about "Something this administration is planning for immigrants, or LPRs or Naturalized Citizens or Dual Citizens......"

Fear mongering. Unlawful and probably unconsitutional. Ain't going to happen any time soon. This would not benefit the US and I haven't heard any proposals. US citizens must report (and many times pay) taxes on world wide income. This would cut off this tax revenue for the US, as many would choose to renounce their citizenship if they couldn't get a passport

ok thanks, so i guess strike that off the list of things to worry about. i don't want to renounce my UK citizenship even though i would never want to live there full time.

UK citizenship is a lot better for living outside the UK vs US for living outside the US. If I lived outside the US, I'd prefer UK citizenship

from a tax point of view and international banking that's true. no bank in Thailand will open an account for an american. my friend's wife is Swiss, she tried to open a bank account in Switzerland after living in the US for 30+ years and some how the Swiss banks found out she had a US passport and refused her, in her own country!

 

i've entered Thailand on different passports in the past to try avoid the limits on visaless re-entries and thai immigration figured it out and told me to stick to only one passport in future!
