It depends. Choosing the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) instead of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) for 2024 would not automatically revoke your ability to use the FEIE in 2025. Revocation of the FEIE occurs when you explicitly state that you are revoking it on your tax return or amended return for the first year you do not wish to claim the exclusion. Since you do not qualify for the FEIE in 2024 due to not meeting the Physical Presence Test (PPT) or Bona Fide Residence Test (BFRT), you aren't technically "revoking" the FEIE by opting for the FTC.
For 2025, if you meet the PPT or BFRT and qualify for the FEIE, you should be able to claim it without issue, provided you haven't explicitly revoked it in prior years.
