Can an non-US citizen create a US LLC entity? Do they need to 1) be on a work visa, 2) have a green card, or 3) something more?

Generally speaking, any person, regardless of US citizenship, residency or visa status, can form a US LLC!

However without the proper work authorization the person cannot work for the LLC or manage the LLC while physically being in the US. There are some very limited exceptions to this but those would need to be discussed in private as they depend on your particular circumstances, your nationality and the intents for the LLC.

Ping me offline to set up a consultation. If you are outside the US then we can skype.
