>USA and Eritrea are unique in that they will tax your worldwide income even if you no longer live in those countries (are non-resident.) No other countries in the world have the brass balls to do that.

But to be fair there is a rather large exemption, around US$ 100,000 per year, the nuisance is that you have to file some tax forms anyway:

>The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE, using IRS Form 2555) allows you to exclude a certain amount of your EARNED income from US tax. For tax year 2016 (filing in 2017) this exclusion was $101,300.

And in most countries, you can just take the Foreign Tax credit and still owe zero given that their rates are higher than the US's.
