If a "US person"...And keep in mind FATCA. If a "US person" has a bank account in a country with which the US has a FATCA-compliant tax treaty, the US can order the bank to "suspend the transaction privileges" of a "US person" at any time - without notification or recourse or reason (just because the feds want to...) And if the "suspension" is eventually rescinded - as happened to my account in Basel - the US reporting requirements are so extensive that the bank will most likely just close the account. I don't know if a person who is merely eligible for US citizenship is (or is not) considered a "US person" under FATCA treaties. Here's hoping that you can find someone who knows.Adam Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823227714918675799noreply@blogger.com
