If you are a U.S citizen and leave the country to live overseas for 7 years, do you lose your US citizenship ?
Answer:
No, a US citizenship is for life, unless you want to give it up and become a citizen of another country.
NO, once a citizen always a citizen.
I don't think that you can loose your citizenship without renouncing it.
No you can keep your citizenship for your whole life as long as you don't renounce it. No matter how long you leave for.
Just never renounce it. It is your's for life
You CAN lose your S citizenship by pledging allegiance to another country. If you become a citizen of another country, it is likely that you will lose your US citizenship. It depends on the country.
To ensure that you keep your US citizenship, keep your US passport and any applicable visas current, register with the American Embassy in your country of residence and consult with a US immigration attorney.
No. My father has lived over seas for 30 years and is still a citizen. You don't lose it unless you renounce it.
My understanding is you can not lose your U.S. citizenship, ever, unless you undertake the rather extraordinary act of going to a U.S. embassy or consulate overseas and filling in a specific U.S. State Department form for that purpose wherein you formally and voluntarily renounce your U.S. citizenship. I am quite sure that the consular officer will hold on to your application and NOT process it for several days if s/he perceives you as an idealistic young person, because giving up U.S. citizenship is a pretty stupid thing to do.
A few idealists who believed in "world citizenship" (as in, "I am a citizen of the world") renounced their U.S. citizenship in Paris in the idealistic 1920s. They should have first studied international law on this subject.
Since they had no other legal citizenship, they became stateless. They were stuck in France, because they could not leave France without a passport, and because they were no longer citizens of any country, they had no right to any country's passport.
There is no absolute right to citizenship under international law. The right to citizenship is controlled SOLELY by the national law of each sovereign state.
Even though they entered France legally under their U.S. passports, they had to surrender those to the U.S. consular officer once they renounced their citizenship.
You do realize that the passport is not your property. It is the property of the U.S. Government, who has the right to seize it upon demand (the same way a bank who issues you a credit card has the right to have the card seized from you by a merchant, even against your will, because the card is the property of the bank).
They had no right to a French passport, because ... they were not French citizens! So, voila, they had no right to any passport. They were literally stateless. Is this possible? Under international law, of course.
No, you never lose your citizenship unless you formally renounce it. You can live wherever you want in this world and however long and that will not cause you to lose your US citizenship - you can even become a naturalized citizen of another country and will not lose your US citizenship unless part of the taking of that citizenship is that you have to renounce your US citizenship.
