The American Embassy in Vienna, one of a network of more than 300 embassies, consulates and diplomatic missions that the U.S. has around the world, has announced that “American citizens traveling in Austria who find themselves in distress and without a way to contact the U.S. embassy” will now be able to enter “any McDonald’s in Austria” and get the help they need.

 In 2015, Congress enacted a law that would revoke the passports of U.S. citizens who were “seriously delinquent” on their U.S. taxes. The enforcement threshold was set relatively high, however – at US$50,000 in outstanding tax, interest and penalties. (A provision was included to adjust annually for inflation going forward, so the amount now stands at US$51,000.)
