Where we checked
What you should know before signing up from abroad
Swyft Filings is a Houston-based service that prepares and files US LLC, corporation and nonprofit paperwork. The website is not geo-blocked, so you can reach it and complete an order from Thailand, the Philippines, Argentina or anywhere else with no VPN. There is no citizenship or residency requirement to own a US LLC, and Swyft explicitly markets to foreign founders.
The honest drawback is the checkout flow. The order page asks for a US address, which is awkward if you live abroad. Swyft sells a registered-agent service and a US mailing address with forwarding, so the practical path is to add their agent to your order rather than invent an address. Pricing is USD-only, so a non-US card must support USD charges, and some foreign banks flag the transaction.
Higher tiers bundle an EIN, custom operating agreement and expedited filing, which matters for non-residents who need an EIN to open a bank account. Note Swyft does not file your federal tax obligations for you, and getting a US bank account from overseas is a separate hurdle Swyft only assists with — it cannot guarantee approval.
Quick answers
Can I form a US LLC with Swyft Filings while living abroad?
Yes. There is no residency or citizenship requirement to own a US LLC, and Swyft serves foreign founders. The site is not geo-blocked and needs no VPN.
Do I need a US address or registered agent?
Checkout asks for a US address and your state requires a registered agent. Swyft sells both — add their agent and US mail-forwarding to your order.
Can I pay with a non-US card?
Yes, if your card supports USD charges. Swyft accepts Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover and PayPal, but bills only in US dollars.
