US LLC Formation from Colombia: Stripe & USD Banking
Form your US LLC from Bogotá, Medellín, Cali or Barranquilla — no US visit, no SSN. We file with the state, act as your registered agent and get your IRS EIN.
Colombian 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 Colombian businesses. A US LLC with an EIN applies to Stripe as a US company.

Colombian residents must report foreign assets to DIAN and register foreign investments with Banco de la República under the exchange regime. Your accountant will want the LLC's documents and bank statements.
Tax authority: Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) · US income tax treaty with Colombia: no · Currency: Colombian peso (COP)
Why Colombian founders form a US LLC
- Card payments through Stripe US instead of local-only gateways
- USD invoicing for US and European clients
- Protect income from peso volatility
Getting paid in COP
- USD account in the LLC's name (Mercury, Relay or Wise Business)
- Transfer to your Colombian bank (Bancolombia, Davivienda, BBVA) in COP
- Move funds on to Nequi or Daviplata from your local account
Provider corridors and fees change — confirm before you rely on one.

US LLC from Colombia: FAQs
¿Puede un colombiano crear una LLC en Estados Unidos?
Sí. No necesitas visa, SSN ni viajar. HynoGo presenta la LLC, actúa como agente registrado y tramita el EIN.
Can I get Stripe from Colombia with a US LLC?
Yes — Stripe reviews the US LLC and EIN, and you verify your identity with your Colombian passport. Approval is Stripe's decision, and your website and business description matter most.
How do I withdraw to Nequi?
Transfer from the LLC's US account to your Colombian bank, then to Nequi or Daviplata.
Is there a US–Colombia tax treaty?
No. The LLC usually owes no US income tax without a US trade or business but files Form 5472 yearly. DIAN taxes your worldwide income as a resident.
