Form a US LLC from MoroccoStripe. Mercury. EIN. 100% Remote.

Yes. Citizens and residents of Morocco can legally own and operate a US LLC 100% remotely. The US has no citizenship or residency restrictions for LLC owners. No US visa, SSN, ITIN, or physical travel is required. You only need a valid Morocco passport and a standard proof of address (utility bill or bank statement) to register.

Yes. A US LLC registered through Entryly gives you a US Employer Identification Number (EIN) and US business address. Combined with a US business bank account, this qualifies you for full US Stripe merchant access. Entryly guarantees Stripe activation as part of our package.

Yes. Since Morocco is a Tier 1 country, citizens and passport holders can open a fully functional Mercury Bank business checking account. This is done 100% remotely and includes USD checking and savings, a business debit card, ACH routing, and international SWIFT wire capabilities.

We offer three premier states: (1) Missouri is the fastest, taking 2-4 business days at a low cost. (2) Wyoming offers excellent privacy because member names are not published on the state registry. (3) New Mexico is the most cost-effective long-term, with a $0 state annual report fee and $35 annual renewal. Most founders in Morocco choose Missouri for speed or New Mexico for low maintenance.

If your US LLC is owned by a single non-US resident and has no physical operations, offices, or employees in the US, its income is classified as "foreign-sourced". Under IRS rules, it is treated as a tax-transparent pass-through entity and is subject to 0% US corporate income tax. You are only required to file annual informational returns (Forms 5472 and a pro forma 1120). Moroccan residents must report global income. Navigating currency laws and local declarations requires a local tax professional.

Yes. Morocco is a Tier 1 country, so Moroccan passport holders can open Mercury Bank, Wise, and Payoneer through a US LLC without restrictions. Full Stripe US access is included. This is particularly useful for Moroccan freelancers and developers who need USD banking and Stripe for international clients.

Your clients pay you in USD via Stripe, which pays out to your Mercury Bank account. From Mercury, you can transfer USD to your local bank account at Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire, BMCE Bank in MAD using Wise Business for near-spot exchange rates, or send a standard international wire.

The setup takes 5-10 business days total: (1) LLC registration with the state (2-4 business days), (2) EIN registration with the IRS (typically 2-4 business days via our digital fax channel), and (3) Mercury Bank and Stripe activation (1-2 business days). All documents are delivered digitally.
