In order to open a Stripe account in a country different than your primary business country, you'll need a legal entity, tax ID, physical location, phone number, government-issued ID, working website, and physical bank account in that country and 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 than your primary business country, first confirm that Stripe supports processing payments in that country. See which countries Stripe currently supports.

If supported, you'll will need the following in that country:

• For Stripe business accounts: a legal entity registered in the same country for which you plan to open the account
• A tax ID
• A physical location in that country at which you are able to receive mail (cannot be a P.O. box)
• A phone number
• A government-issued ID, such as a passport or driver’s license, from any country
• A working website that shows what your business sells or what services you provide
• A physical bank account in that country (cannot be a virtual bank account), denominated in a supported transfer currency for that country

Exceptions

• Accounts opened in Canada can use a 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. Select the specific country from the drop down menu to confirm the supported payout currencies.
