    Singapore doesn’t do PR? Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship either but basically the only thing you gain over PR is voting rights. If you make good money (over $100000) you have to pay some taxes back to the US but otherwise you only have to pay one country.

      I had PR before citizenship. I wanted citizenship. Even if you don’t have to pay (aka you don’t exceed the maximum exclusion), you still have to file a US tax return.

        Back in college I knew a guy who had everything right up to citizenship and it cost some amount and he was contemplating if it was worth it and I was mentioning this very scenario we have in the us now on why it would be good to be a citizen.
