What is Expatriation? An Introduction to Covered vs. Uncovered Expat Status

As obvious as it sounds, one of the keys to U.S. expat (usexpatinvesting.com) status is the process itself of expatriation. Living as an American abroad is one thing, carrying its own set of financial and investing hurdles and complications. But truly renouncing your U.S. citizenship brings about its own set of obstacles.

In this episode of Gimme Some Truth for Expats, our team of U.S. expat financial advisors – Stan Farmer, CFP®, J.D.; Syl Michelin, CFA; and Keith Poniewaz, Ph.D. – delve into the subject of expatriation, the first of what is sure to be multiple episodes on this subject (because there's a lot of ground to cover). Speaking of cover, this edition is primarily dedicated to going over what it means to be a covered expat, and the boxes you would have to check to reach covered expat status. There's enough there to warrant an entire episode, so while our trio briefly touches on how covered expat status may impact your financial situation, we'll go more in-depth on that specific subject in an upcoming episode.
