Hello Peter! I am a US Permanent Resident since 1997. Should I be concerned about traveling internationally at the moment, US politics being what they are? Or is it safe to assume that if I leave the country for a short while, I'm not going to get turned away at the border?


Even in this environment, I wouldn't worry at all about traveling as long as your primary residence is the US and your trips are each less than 6 months in duration.


What is the reason you dont naturalize? Future tax concerns?


Obviously not the OP. Another common reason is that a good number of countries do not allow dual citizenship. So you'd have to give up your "original" citizenship...


Not so much for tax reasons - because permanent residents are generally subject to the same taxes as citizens - but for estate planning purposes,


That is why i said future tax. Like you hit it big, and wouldnt want to deal with renouncing your citizenship.

Otherwise you dont really need to be a perm resident. Being resident for tax purposes is sufficient.
