Anyone on here renounce US citizenship, then attempted to get a B2 for a temporary visit to the US? The information online about getting B2 is inconsistant (Reed Amendment comes to mind).

Renouncing your citizenship shouldn't affect getting a B2 visa unless they have reason to believe that you renounced citizenship in order to avoid taxes. Thus, you should have evidence on this front.

Even then, you have to be a rich individual (I think over $2 million net worth, over $150k in tax liability average in the past 5 years, or if the IRS already has beef with you if I recall correctly).

The number of people who renounce US citizenship is a relatively tiny number, so it's a bit difficult to track down a person in such a situation. I don't know of any such person.

OP why did you renounce citizenship?

Might have been a bad idea in the 1930s. Has OP traveled overseas extensively?

Just long term planning, except for handgun ownership, what advantage is there to paying US taxes? If you are still liable even if you live overseas, you gotta acquire other citizenship and renounce. I've learned to stop being such a gun nut (now a knife nut), so I can become an international man. If SHTF, I can just hide out in Canada or New Zealand.

So Simon Black is real? I keep getting the vibe he's a marketing gimmick. Maybe I've just read too many of those Soveriegn Man sites, more of a fantasy than anything, not like I have the money for it to be worth it.

Yea, he is very real. So do you make enough money for renouncing your citizenship to be of any help? I believe there is a tax break for something like 90k of income made abroad.
