Foreign-born US citizens, green card holders (immigrants) in the US, and foreign nationals on temporary nonimmigrant US visas, have unique financial & US tax compliance challenges as they straddle their multi-country footprint.

US expats living abroad have somewhat similar challenges from having to deal with US taxes and foreign obligations.

In "The International Money Café Podcast" Jane Mepham, CFP®, and Manasa Nadig, EA, address these unique challenges over a cup of Coffee/Chai in addition to talking about life in the US.

    Ep 59: What is English for "Expired Green Card?"
    Dec 17 2025
    What are the implications of having an expired green card?. Tax obligations continue to exist for green card holders even after their status has lapsed.

    We discuss the importance of understanding both IRS and USCIS regulations, the process of officially surrendering a green card, and the challenges associated with renewing it while living outside the U.S.

    Takeaways
    • Your green card may have expired, but you remain a green card holder until officially surrendered.
    • You could be subject to exit taxes if you surrender your green card after being a resident for a certain period.
    • If you lose your green card, you must replace it before surrendering it.
    • You cannot renew an expired green card while outside the U.S.
    • An expired green card does not equate to a surrendered green card; there is an official process to follow.
