Can I form a US LLC as a resident of France?
Yes. A French resident can form and own an LLC from France, with no visa, no Social Security number and no trip to the United States.
Which state should I choose?
Wyoming, New Mexico and Delaware are the states non-residents choose most. The right choice depends on your business, your plans and the annual costs. Our state comparison shows the fees for each.

A single-member LLC is generally a pass-through entity in the US: its income is often taxable in your country of residence. The exact rules depend on your situation and on tax treaties, so have them confirmed by a local tax advisor.
