I wrote a thing a while ago you might find handy - https://thebillfold.com/how-to-get-eu-citizenship-country-by-country-ed6694f6111a#.t8sv061me

At the risk of sounding arrogant I think a lot of Americans don't appreciate that America is not the only country that doesn't just let people rock up and live there. Literally every country in the world is like that, even developing ones. I've been grilled at the Malaysian border because I didn't have an onward ticket.

Could you elaborate on that? Are you trans, or was there a clerical error when you were born?

You can probably just add any supporting documents and a cover letter explaining why you had to change your name/gender and why there's that discrepancy, and then get it apostilled (which you'll have to do for the other documents anyway).

Just remember as an American you still gotta file tax returns each year even if you don't spend a day in the US or make any money there.

Is this actually enforced? Australia has the same rule but I've never filed a tax return for the years I've lived overseas and don't know any other Australians who have either. I always assumed it was more to prevent millionaires from offshoring, the ATO doesn't give a poo poo about my measly 22,000 pounds a year or whatever lovely wage I had in London.

Australia has this rule? Source? I've been living in the USA for close to 10 years and that's news to me.

I just remember filling out my tax return and it said you have to declare all income even if you earned it overseas. Which I didn't, because gently caress that.
