    There are a few countries in the world where you can hold US dual citizenship. Canada is one if them. You can become a Canadian citizen without renouncing your US citizenship

      But isn’t it true that you still have to pay some sort of annual tax to the USA even if you no longer live there?

        No. It is not true.

        I lived outside the US for many years and never even filed my taxes because my income was less than $100,000 per year.

        If you earn a bit more than that, or you have income from capital gains, then may have to report it and pay taxes, yes.

        See IRS rules for “Foreign Income Exclusion”

        Americans have to submit tax forms to the IRS every year, even if they are no longer living there or earning income there.
