Congratulations you've 100% hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what Australia, the UK & New Zealand love to do to enforce their will on their citizens and those who try to leave. Their other tactic is to get the tax office to go after you for whatever they think they can, even if there's nothing to go after you for, just the audit can keep you stuck in-country for a year of longer.

@mjor6406 What is wrong is that citizenship based taxation is nothing but legalised theft. No one has any issue with being taxed in a country they are working in, however if they've fully moved abroad, they aren't benefiting from the country they left so why should that country be getting any money from them? Note that this taxation is on top of any taxation they are paying where they work and live. The fact you can't understand why citizenship based taxation is wrong makes me wonder why you even watch this channel. Now focusing on the initial point, using techniques mentioned above to stop people from leaving is wrong because why should any country have the right to stop people from leaving?

@TheAwesomeTolga198 *any western government - primarily CANZUK and CUNA. There are very few other countries that are actively trying to stop people from leaving. There are several countries that literally guarantee freedom of entry and exit to their citizens in their constitutions.

@mjor6406 Thankfully I'm not a US citizen but my point stands - why should a country be permitted to tax its citizens who benefit nothing from them? Why should a person have to renounce citizenship to leave a tax system? Why do you think its right for a country (the US) to tax its citizens abroad when they benefit nothing from the US?

@markuswunsch The problem with that logic is the type of people who move away from the US don't benefit from the passport as they usually have other passports on which they do the bulk of their travel. In CANZUK / CUNA where a person is a dual or multi-national, a passport such as a US passport only serves as a way to leave the US, it has zero use beyond that and the benefit of being able to simply leave the country isn't sufficient to justify taxing people just because they're citizens. The US passport does very little for people outside of the US. It loses access to countries every year, it basically bans you from banking abroad and only makes people targets for hate based on how the rest of the world see the US (hint: very badly outside of CANZUK/CUNA as the remaining countries are commonly bullied by the US when it taxes, information sharing, CRS, AML/KYC, etc.). A US passport holder trying to get a visa to countries outside CANZUK / CUNA will be given a stupid run-around and a heap of paperwork or they'll be denied because it would mean excessive reporting by the other country (the same reason non-US banks don't want US citizens at all). In some EU countries, try booking a hotel with a non-US passport and compare the treatment to someone using a US passport; the non-US passport will get nicer treatment and the staff will be more helpful. Whilst I can't speak for the US on social security payments abroad, the people who are both on this channel and who leave the US are the same people who'll never be entitled to even apply for social security due to their net worth being too high. Its only the EU where any EU citizen who's paid tax in the EU can get a pension (more tax paid = more pension) regardless of their net worth.

@TheAwesomeTolga198 Aside from the fact that the laws were changed around 2010 to permit suspension of passports for any reason, it's happened. People have been stopped from leaving Australia and New Zealand because they're skilled and have significant financial means because the govt don't want brain drains, people who've become specialists in skilled fields have been denied leave from Australia even for retirement because the government don't want brain drains - the ironic part is that but simply not working the brain drain still happens even if the people don't leave. There are plenty of people who have been stopped from leaving the US, AU, NZ and UK by suddenly getting tax audited over their political views and in Australia people have been "randomly" selected for jury duty two years in a row early in the year for a late in the year period even though if done in one year you're not legally able to be selected again for a year. I've had a few of the mentioned things happen to myself, the being refused from leaving because I'm an engineer, being suddenly slammed with audits and investigations even though I've been cleared and okayed every time, and I've been selected twice in a row for jury duty with selection in the beginning of the year for a period at the end of the year with backdated noticed of selection. All just to stop me leaving. The same has happened to colleagues and people from many of the clubs I'm in, even to people in those clubs that I don't know. Oh yeah and then there were the last few years where those with arts degrees and those over 50 were granted travel ban exemptions for parties, weddings and holidays but anyone under 50 and in a skilled profession was completely denied even if they had proof they were leaving and never coming back. Executive Traveller also had an article about it and plenty of people from Australia shared their experiences that went back as far as 2016

You would have no choice but to get an EU citizenship from within Schengen if you want to avoid the 90 day limit. All biometric passports are globally linked by your biometric data and by sharing of information and passport numbers used to book tickets.

All of CANZUK and CUNA are doing this... Tax havens are the few places that aren't doing this as they're acknowledging normal crypto as being valid alongside fiat currency. They're the only places that still have privacy. Only once all privacy is gone will the masses realise they need privacy but it'll be too late.
