Straight answers
- Will a US LLC let me use Stripe from India?
- A US LLC + EIN + US bank account are what Stripe requires, which is why founders in India form one. Stripe still reviews each applicant; we set up the entity, EIN, and bank and guide the application.
- Do I need an SSN or US visit?
- No. No SSN, no ITIN, no US co-signer, no US visit. Forming for founders abroad is our daily default, not an exception.
- How fast is the EIN?
- 3–5 business days, often faster. That's the normal outcome, not a best case.
- What does it cost? Any subscription?
- $399 + your state fee. One time. No subscription, no surprise renewals — the price on the page is the price you pay.
