Forming a US company from your country? Here's what changes.

The filing itself is the same wherever you live. What changes is whether your country has a tax treaty with the US, whether Stripe works there, whether Mercury or Relay will open an account for you, and what your own tax office expects. Each country has its own page with the answers, checked against the sources and dated.

Each country shows the one thing that matters most for founders there: a US tax treaty, Stripe working there, or Mercury not opening accounts for people who live there. We checked these in September 2026 against the IRS treaty list and each provider’s published country rules. Don't see your country? Email us and we'll research it and add a page.
