Can someone living in the US with no visa open an account with TD Ameritrade?

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to open a trading account wit TD Ameritrade for an
illegal alien living in the USA?

He has his own TIN number, as fa as taxation.

Contact TD Ameritrade. Then report back here with your findings.

 

1. Just try it, it is online so what is the worse that can happen? They reject the application.

2. I bet Robinhood would do it.

 

Brokers don't generally ask for visas.

 

No can do without an ssn.

 

Can u not Google.
Can non us citizens open a brokerage account.
Yes they can.

 

Just open your account with your country of residence, fill in the W-8 BEN form and be done with it. Why the hustle ? But you gonna need fresh residence papers,bills, utility etc to give, also a bank account

 

TD doesn't accept most non-US customers

 

He has to do it as if he is outside the usa.

 

As a European no, I heard that Canadians can do it and some other countries like Singapur etc. TDA didn't want to comply with ESMA reporting/rules (wasn't worth the hassle), but once the Schwab Merger is done, Europeans can get the TOS platform via Schwab.
