I called the IRS ITIN hotline exactly 4 weeks ago and requested a change of the mailing address and a re-issued ITIN notice to the new address (within the same neighborhood in a suburb of Los Angeles). Until May 26th I did not receive a new notice and my profile in IRS.GOV still shows the old address. Is it normal that nothing changed since 4 weeks? How long might the technical update and the delivery of the new ITIN notice take? Would be nice hearing about your experiences regarding that matter. Thank you!

Will Chase bank open a bank account for my non resident US LLC if i live in Cyprus as a tax resident. As of right now i'm an Indian citizen living in India but planning to move to EU country like Cyprus after April 15th.I spoke with Mr.Willemse he told banks will close my account if i move to Cyprus.

I know a lot of non-US resident like me applying Wyoming LLC to run their business. However, when it comes to business account application, I heard most US banks are not willing to provide business account and credit card to Wyoming LLC, since it hides member's name from public records. (Let's put Neobank like Mercury/Relayfi aside first) So far I do my research and find 2 ways, foreign filing or open a new LLC in other state like Florida and close the Wyoming one. I am wondering if there is any good way to solve this, or maybe Wyoming LLC won't be an issue? Would happy to hear anyone who has experience in this.

I have a question for those who have experience opening U.S. bank accounts with a non-resident owned LLC. Is there any real difference between a Florida LLC and a Wyoming LLC when it comes to opening accounts with traditional U.S. banks (like Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.)? To after apply for the bussines AMEX I’m specifically asking from the perspective of a non-U.S. resident owner. Some people online say banks prefer Florida LLCs because they look more “legitimate”, while others say the state doesn’t matter and that banks mainly care about things like EIN, physical address, and KYC documentation. From your experience, did the state of formation make any difference when trying to open a bank account with a traditional bank?

Hi everyone — asking for a friend who is a non-U.S. person with no SSN or ITIN. Is there any practical way to open a personal checking account at a U.S. brick-and-mortar bank that is unconditionally free? My friend visits the U.S. once or twice a year for a week or two and wants the account mainly for local expenses. Most banks we’ve checked charge monthly fees unless you meet waiver conditions like minimum balance, direct deposits, age requirements, or regular activity, which does not fit this travel pattern. The only close option I found is BMO Smart Advantage Checking, but BMO branches are limited to certain states, mostly California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Arizona — not New York or surrounding states. Any better ideas or personal experiences from nonresidents without an SSN/ITIN? Thanks!
