US LLC Formation from Argentina: Stripe & USD Banking
Form your US LLC from Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario or Mendoza — no US visit, no SSN. We file with the state, act as your registered agent and get your IRS EIN.
Argentine residents can own 100% of a US LLC. HynoGo charges $0 service fee (you pay the state fee, e.g. $100 in Wyoming), the EIN is $40 and the registered agent $45/yr. Stripe does not support Argentine businesses. A US LLC with an EIN applies to Stripe as a US company.

Argentina's exchange rules have changed often — most individual restrictions (the "cepo") were eased in 2025, but service-export income and foreign assets still have reporting rules with ARCA and the BCRA. Confirm the current rules with your contador.

US LLC from Argentina: FAQs
¿Puede un argentino abrir una LLC en Estados Unidos?
Sí. No hace falta viajar ni tener SSN. Nosotros presentamos la LLC, el agente registrado y el EIN.
Why do Argentine founders form US LLCs?
Mostly to invoice and hold USD in a US account, to access Stripe, and to sign contracts with foreign clients as a US company.
Do I still pay tax in Argentina?
Yes. ARCA taxes residents on worldwide income and foreign assets. The LLC files Form 5472 in the US but usually owes no US income tax without a US trade or business.
Is there a US–Argentina tax treaty?
No income tax treaty is in force, so plan your Argentine tax with a local accountant.
