“I’ve officially renounced my US citizenship. The US is one of the greatest places in the world where you can go from nothing to something,” entrepreneur Adam Nasir, who resides in Dubai, wrote.

He shared that he relocated to the US with his parents in 1996. “I remember my first job at McDonald’s at 15, then evolving into different hustles. Selling iPods at Circuit City (before iPhones), working at a mall kiosk, Door to Door sales, flipping cars, flipping houses, then moving into the software game.”
In the following lines, he explained the reason behind his decision. “At this stage of my life and in future stages predictively, the US no longer serves me.”
He continued, “Forever grateful to the United States and still embody the spirit of being American although I no longer hold an active passport.” In a video he posted, he shows holes in his US passport, indicating that his passport is void.
What did social media say?
An individual commented, “Congratulations, Adam. Do you ever think you’ll want a life back in America in the future?” Another added, “Love that for you! I’m a dual citizen and can totally understand where you are coming from! I’m so proud of you and how you go after it so relentlessly.”

A third expressed, “What’s your new citizenship in, or is there a transition period? I’m in Minnesota, so it’s definitely been eye-opening. You need a book launch to share your story!” Nasir replied, “I have a Moroccan passport by birth. I purchased a Caribbean passport a few years ago and am currently in the process of getting another passport by investment.”
A fourth wrote, “I would never recommend anyone to do that. People literally give up their lives to become a US citizen. Generational wealth tends to get squandered in a few generations, and then you’re back to square one.”
