🇵🇰Form a US LLC from Pakistan. Get Stripe and PayPal Access.

PayPal suspended services in Pakistan in 2009, citing regulatory concerns related to the State Bank of Pakistan. Despite multiple government announcements about restoring access (2016, 2019, 2022), the ban remains in effect. The only way for Pakistani entrepreneurs to use PayPal is through a US LLC with a US business address and bank account.

No. Stripe does not support Pakistan as a business country. Pakistani entrepreneurs cannot create a Stripe account with a Pakistani address or bank account. However, with a US LLC, EIN, and US bank account, you can open a full US Stripe account and accept payments globally.

Without a US LLC, Pakistani founders are limited to Payoneer (high fees, limited features), JazzCash and Easypaisa (PKR only, domestic), and direct bank wire transfers. None offer the global payment capabilities of Stripe or PayPal.

No special State Bank of Pakistan approval is required to form a US LLC. However, you must comply with SBP regulations regarding foreign exchange when transferring funds between your US and Pakistani accounts. Consult a local tax professional for guidance on FEMA-equivalent regulations.

You can use Wise (TransferWise) for competitive rates, direct wire transfers through your US bank, or services like Remitly. Wise typically offers the best PKR conversion rates. All transfers must comply with SBP foreign exchange guidelines.

Payoneer is available in Pakistan but has significant limitations: higher fees (up to 3%), no storefront payment processing, limited payment methods, and no buyer/seller protection. A US LLC with Stripe gives you lower fees (2.9% + $0.30), full e-commerce integration, subscription billing, and access to the entire Stripe ecosystem.

Yes. US LLCs are open to non-citizens and non-residents. You do not need a US visa, Green Card, or Social Security Number. Thousands of Pakistani entrepreneurs, freelancers, and IT professionals form US companies each year.

No. The entire LLC formation process is handled remotely. You do not need to travel to the US at any point. We file all documents with the state on your behalf.

Wyoming is the most popular choice for Pakistani founders. It offers zero state income tax, low annual fees ($60/year), strong privacy protections, and a simple compliance structure. Delaware is preferred for startups seeking US venture capital.

We help you apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) directly with the IRS. No SSN is required. The EIN is your business tax ID and is needed for banking, filing taxes, and hiring contractors.

Yes. We help you open a US business bank account entirely online from Pakistan. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks after your LLC and EIN are established.

You will need to file an annual report with the state (varies by state), maintain a registered agent, and file US tax returns. We help you stay compliant with reminders and filing support.

LLC formation takes 3-7 business days. EIN application takes 2-4 weeks for non-US residents. Bank account setup adds 1-2 weeks. Most Pakistani founders are fully operational within 6 weeks.
