Expatriation

Expatriation refers to the process of an individual relinquishing their citizenship or nationality of their home country, often to become a citizen of another country. This can happen voluntarily, for reasons such as personal choice or financial considerations, or involuntarily, due to legal or political actions. It usually involves legal procedures, including formal renunciation and addressing tax or legal obligations. Expatriation can impact a person's rights, such as voting or social benefits, and may have implications for their financial and legal status internationally.
