Open a US LLC from Vietnam and get paid in USD

Form your US company as a Vietnamese resident, get your EIN without an SSN, a US bank account and Stripe. Everything is handled remotely, from start to finish.

If you are a freelancer, an agency owner or run an online store from Vietnam, a US LLC is one of the cleanest ways to reach global clients, charge in dollars and finally unlock the payment platforms that are blocked locally.

Why Vietnamese founders open a US LLC

  • Get paid in USD from clients worldwide, straight into a US business account.
  • Unlock Stripe and PayPal with a real US entity, the single biggest blocker for Vietnamese online businesses.
  • Project trust to US and European clients who prefer to contract with a US company.

A US LLC owned by a non resident, with no US activity or staff, is generally not subject to US federal income tax (the ETBUS rule). You keep handling your obligations where you are a tax resident.

What about local rules

Vietnam applies foreign exchange controls and taxes residents on their income. This is a compliance topic, not a blocker: keep clean records and declare your income where it is due.

Everything you were going to ask us

Do I need to reside in the United States to create an LLC?

No residency requirement is imposed. Our service is aimed precisely at entrepreneurs based outside the United States. No US citizenship, no visa and no travel to the territory are required: the entire procedure is carried out remotely on your behalf.

How am I taxed as a non-resident owner?

If you are not a US tax resident and your income is not US-sourced, your single-member LLC is taxed at 0% federally (treated as a "disregarded entity"). You remain, however, required to file the Form 5472 and the pro forma 1120 each year, a purely informational obligation with no US tax owed. LLC Place can handle this for you through its specialized partner CPAs.

What is the best State to open an LLC?

Wyoming and New Mexico offer the lowest fees and the best privacy, ideal for e-commerce sellers and freelancers. Delaware remains the reference for raising funds from US investors. Unsure? Talk for free with a US tax expert on our team: we will point you to the State best suited to your project.

How long does formation really take?

The online form takes about 10 minutes. Filing with the State is 1 to 3 business days in most States. The EIN is issued in 5 to 21 business days on average.

Can you help me open a US bank account?

Yes. We provide pre-approved introductions to Mercury. You apply directly from your dashboard, and most accounts open within 24 to 72 hours.

Can you get an EIN without a Social Security Number?

Yes. We file the SS-4 form by fax with the IRS for you. You will receive confirmation of your EIN (CP 575 letter) without needing an SSN or an ITIN.
