Getting back is easy. Passports are good for 10 years, and very easy to renew. No one forgets to update their passport abroad. It's your bloodline. It's your main form of ID in foreign countries. Plus, if you are living in foreign countries, that is what allows you to stay in the other countries. Keeping that updated, etc.

There is no way a person would just forget about it, while living abroad.

Yes, like all the above. You still have to file Taxes, and Pay any owed. Passport will have your home of residence.
Unless you turn in you passport and Renounce your citizenship???

A friend of mine moved to Thailand about fifteen years ago. He had to leave Thailand every six months, get his passport stamped in a different country and then he could go back to Thailand for another six months. He has a job there teaching English, but even with the job, he still had to exit the country and renew the visa every so often. He has now married a Thai girl, so that will make it easier for him to stay there.

Each foreign country is different, though, so check the specific rules of the country you want to immigrate to. There's different levels of visa, some for just visiting, some for working and another set of rules if you want to become a citizen of the new location.

Check the "World" forums here on City-Data in the area you're interested in and they can probably give you much more details.
