请看以下我和stripe客服Bret的对话记录
Frankly, I am not a U.S. citizen.
But
I heard there maybe no need to start online business with a US id or permanent passport.
actually, there is many people who is not us citizen also get a EIN code from IRS
so, I follow the youtube tutorial
buy a address from usa2me and get a payoneer account for my banking service
right now, I just need get a EIN code, is that right?
Bret
Well, you'll also need a different bank account. We're not able to pay out to Payoneer accounts, so you would need a bank account from a physical US bank in order for us to pay you out.
If you're signing up as an LLC or corporation, then you will need to get an EIN from the IRS in order to complete the tax ID verification.
A passport will still be required for ID verification, but it doesn't need to be a U.S. passport - the passport willjust need to use a Roman alphabet.
ok
is China passport workable?
it seems has Roman alphabet
Bret
As long as your name and such aren't displayed in Chinese characters. There are limitations to our verification software, so if it uses Roman alphabet characters, it should be fine.
I see
So for the banking issue, is that true? Payoneer banking account no longer suported?
Bret
That's correct. We don't support Payoneer or any other virtual bank.
and .. why?
I think it's a good thing..
especially, for people those who like us.
Bret
It's a requirement that has been set by regulations we have to follow, so it's something that has to be complied with.
Oh....
then I should find another way?
do you have some better solution for me?
paypal is banned in my country also
I just tired this morning
Bret
You should find a way to get a physical bank account at a bank in the U.S., or another supported country on a different Stripe account, or you could sign up through Stripe Atlas:
