Overseas American Citizens

Overseas American Citizens are U.S. citizens who live outside the United States. They maintain their citizenship while residing in other countries, often for work, study, or personal reasons. Despite living abroad, they are subject to U.S. laws, including tax obligations on worldwide income. Overseas Americans are entitled to vote in U.S. elections and receive assistance from U.S. embassies or consulates. They often form communities to stay connected with each other and their home country, navigating both the benefits and challenges of being American citizens living outside the U.S.
