I asked my stock broker, Fidelity, about this.  You have to have a tax id code before you can open an account.  This is obtained from the U S government.  Fidelity also said that they would only open an account for a foreigner, if that person was in the U S.  I do not know if that applies to all brokerages or not.

Generally, businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number. The EIN is used to identify a business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Sole proprietorships that need to pay federal excise of employment taxes are required to get an EIN. \n\nOn the other hand, sole proprietors with no employees are not required to get an EIN, and can instead use their Social Security numbers.\n\nThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.\n\nAs for business registration in PA, I suggest you read this document from the PA Secretary of State website called "A Guide to Business Registration in Pennsylvania" http://www.dos.state.pa.us/corps/lib/corps/guide_to_business_guide_in_pa.pdf

I started at the SBA home page, at the bottom there was this link to the IRS site to apply for an EIN. This is the federal number, were you looking for another number?

Sure you can, as a foreigner. I can help. If you are working here and not having a SSN, you should have some tax id, do you? I work with a big direct lender/mortgage broker doing business in 48 states, and because the huge volumn of business we do, we get better rate than smaller brokers. We have over 200 loan programs to meet the needs of different situations, from good FICO score and good income and down payment, to poor FICO score and NO income (called "stated income") and NO down payment, so I will be able to find the program which best fits your needs. Contact me at xjuy@yahoo.com or 408-476-0455 and I can help you. Jessica

Of course you can have a EIN# without having employees, but why? That is a question that the IRS asks. They advise that, unless you have a specific reason or requirement to have the number, you should not apply for one. As far as them "canceling" one for lack of use: in sixteen years as a tax professional, dealing almost exclusively with small business, I have never saw or even heard of such a thing. I have been presented letters received by clients from the IRS that related to EIN# that have not been in use for 20 years. A little information to chew on: The odds of having your tax return audited GREATLY increase when you have a Schedule C included in the package. If you have a viable business, Incorporating makes sense in many ways.

Go to switzerland and open an account. the account opening does not get reported to anybody. there is really no mystery to it at all. It is as easy to open as an account here in the states. btw....swiss accounts are much more transparent than in the old days. you have been reading some old books....

Your best bet is to open an account in Europe, with one of the online banks. PayPal recognizes European accounts as well as US accounts.\n\nYou won't be able to obtain a US bank account without either a Social Security number, or a TIN from the IRS.\n\nBut, if you have a friend in the USA who can open an account for you, that would be the simplest way. Send him/her $20 to open an account.

You can do this via your own bank's online banking service.  The bank's website should have details of how you can register for this.

You could try egg.co.uk or other internet banking sites - they  often don't require the same type of ID that high street banks require.\n\nAlternatively, you'll need to go into a bank and ask them this, because they may have certain ways around it. However, from my experience, unless you have exactly the right ID, then they're not interested, more's the pity.
