# Requirements to open a Stripe account in another country

To open a Stripe account in a country different from your primary business country, you need a legal entity, tax ID, physical location, phone number, government-issued ID, working website, and physical bank account in that country. Stripe must also support processing payments there. Exceptions include accounts opened in Canada with USD-denominated bank accounts, and accounts opened in Europe with EUR-denominated bank accounts.

To open a Stripe account in a country different from your primary business country, confirm that Stripe supports processing payments there. See which [countries Stripe currently supports.](https://stripe.com/global)
If supported, you'll will need the following **in that country**:
* For Stripe business accounts: A legal entity registered in the same country where you plan to open the account.
* A tax ID.
* A physical location in that country where you can receive mail, not a P.O. box.
* A phone number.
* A [government-issued ID](/questions/why-do-i-need-to-upload-a-scan-or-photo-of-my-passport-or-driver-s-license), such as a passport or driver’s license, from any country.
* A [working website](/questions/do-i-need-a-website-to-use-stripe) that shows what your business sells or what services you provide.
* A physical bank account in that country denominated in a [supported transfer currency](/questions/which-currencies-does-stripe-support) for that country. This can't be a virtual bank account.
### Exceptions
* Accounts opened in **Canada** can use USD-denominated bank accounts.
* Accounts opened in **most, but not all, European countries** can use a EUR-denominated bank account regardless of the bank account country as long as the country is supported by Stripe. Confirm the supported payout currencies for a specific country with this [drop down menu.](https://docs.stripe.com/payouts?#supported-accounts-and-settlement-currencies)
