Planning US visit for bank

Btw, I mostly want an ITIN to be able to easier open up a bank‌ account...

For now I only have a IBKR account on my LLC... Will this be‍ sufficient or will they first check if I have to pay taxes in the USA?⁠
 
After a longer time, a longer post – sorry 🙂

Sure, a personal documentation is expected, naturally. @johanmichel mentioned just LLC documents, so I've overlooked⁠ it somehow.

This is a very significant advice. I agree completely and feel a little bit︁ ashamed that I have not recalled this. A high credit limit is really adored in︂ the U.S.

It will help, definitely. I witnessed opening accounts for LLCs even without banking history,︄ especially with local banks; but if your LLC is not a startup, it's natural to︅ show it.

From what I have witnessed, a phone call from your registering︉ agent to a local bank representative like “Hey Sam, I have a guy here who︊ is my client for some time and never made any troubles; now he needs a︋ reasonable banking, when can you talk to him?” works really well.

Cannot comment about California (but the abovesaid sounds very plausible); yet re: Florida, Miami️ especially, banks there are open to Europeans, too – TBMK.

Well, probably it's not an OP's intention to go to states like Kansas or⁠ Arkansas; but in general, I am afraid that in the more conservative states not much⁤ visited by foreigners it can be more difficult.

Very true.

Yes.

It depends on︇ the state and on the bank. In general, smaller local banks tend to be more︈ conservative, unfortunately.

This can change the︊ game significantly. If you are able and willing to invest some money like quoted above︋ through the bank, then even some Swiss (or LI) banks can be willing to onboard︌ you, especially if you present your LLC just as a subject managing your assets. Of︍ course, an introducer will help you a lot.

It is probably not exactly️ corresponding to the reality as Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PWC and BDO‌ are doing this globally and I guess they have offices in Poland; yet I agree‍ that they are not much likely to help you when you are just a small⁠ fish.
Surprisingly for me, there are no independent vendors in PL. Yet e.g. in Czechia⁤ I see two and in Germany plenty (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/acceptance-agent-program) – a food for thought⁣ 😉
And this Fiverr way discussed above is not that bad, IMO.

Nice to hear – and good for you!

Yes, it has been already mentioned (@yngmind) and can be a way to go for you, in your situation. You can︊ also check (already mentioned, too) James Baker (https://jamesbakercpa.com/packages, pay attention to No Travel︋ VIP Bank Account - $2,500).
 
I just know one thing:⁠ I seriously don’t want to build anything related to my company or my future that⁤ is based on Fiverr by some Chinese guy or another guy, whatever skin color he⁣ has, sitting in a completely different country than where the company is supposed to be⁢ located. You are beyond foolish, or you simply don’t have enough money to establish yourself︀ abroad if you rely on such methods.

The poor get poor solutions that make them︁ even poorer, while the rich get intelligent and often expensive solutions that make them even︂ richer.
 
The rich didn't get rich by spending unwisely. Paying less doesn't mean you're paying for‌ a worse service.
 
The cost of paying for proper formal‍ tax and legal advice shouldn't be material to your overall wealth.
While the cost of⁠ paying for bad advice surely could be.

Fiverr is great if you need a logo⁤ or to parse some data, and there are likely good service providers on there. But⁣ I've personally seen clients come to me with a big tax bill from work done⁢ on fiverr that they had to pay me to fix.

I've also seen clients get︀ ITINs with no problem. They just don't know who has a copy of their passport.︁
Anyways good luck!
 
Is it possible to go‍ direct? Spoke with them previously and they mentioned that direct accounts were not possible and⁠ that they onboarded customers through RIAs.
