Guides · Find Your Route

Which Guide Do You Need?

Last updated 23 July 2026

There are a lot of guides here, and the order you read them in matters more than any single one.

Tell the finder what you are trying to do and it maps the path: which guides to read, in what order, and the one call that ties it together.

It points you to the right starting line. It makes no judgement about your eligibility or your tax position, because that is what the call is for.

Every route

Every route, in full

The same paths the finder offers, laid out to read directly.

Get a US tax number (ITIN)

You need an ITIN to file, to open accounts, or to run a US business as a non-resident.

  1. Start with what an ITIN is and how it is obtained without travelling
  2. If you have no SSN and never will, read the route that applies to you
  3. Bring your case to the call and have the fastest route confirmed

Build US credit as a non-resident

You want US credit cards and a US credit file without a Social Security Number.

  1. See what US credit approvals for non-residents actually look like
  2. Read how the file is built from scratch, and how fast it really moves
  3. Get your own timeline mapped on the call

Set up a company

You want limited liability, privacy, or a base to invoice and bank from.

  1. Start with the US LLC, what it does and where the tax outcome is decided
  2. Compare the UK LLP, the other pass-through structure, if the US is not the fit
  3. Have the right structure for your situation confirmed on the call

Open bank accounts

You want a US account behind your business, or a bank outside your home country.

  1. For a US account, start with the ITIN route that unlocks it
  2. For banking outside the US, read how a Panama account is opened remotely
  3. Match the account to your structure on the call

Lower my tax, legally

You want a residency that changes where and how much you are taxed.

  1. Start with Paraguay, the most direct territorial-tax route
  2. Compare Mexico and the UAE if lifestyle or a company matters more
  3. Settle which one fits your income and ties on the call

Get a second passport

You want a second citizenship, through ancestry if your line allows, or through residency.

  1. Check descent first, it is the least expensive route if your line qualifies
  2. If not, a passport through residency is the other path
  3. Have your lineage checked, for free, on the research call

FAQ

How does the route finder work?
Pick the outcome you are after and it returns an ordered path: the guides to read in sequence and the call to book. It recommends what to read and where to start. It makes no eligibility or tax judgement, which is what the call is for.
What if more than one route applies to me?
That is common, and it is a good sign. Most people combine a structure with a residency, or a tax number with credit. Start with the most pressing outcome, then the finder and the guides cover how the pieces fit together.
Is the assessment call free?
Yes. The call goes through your situation, confirms which route actually fits, and is straight about timelines and cost before you commit to anything.

Not sure which route is yours?

That is exactly what the assessment call is for. It goes through your situation, confirms the route that fits, and is straight about the timeline and the cost before you commit to anything. Free, qualified, direct.
