Wyoming LLC for Saint Martin & Sint Maarten Residents: Dual-Jurisdiction 2026 Guide
One island, two systems, one Wyoming LLC
Saint Martin is unique: French Collectivité on the north (Marigot, Grand Case) and Dutch Sint Maarten on the south (Philipsburg, Simpson Bay). Both sides run heavily on US-dollar tourism, charter and e-commerce revenue but neither has native Stripe or strong USD banking. A Wyoming LLC is the same solution on both sides.
What it unlocks
- US EIN, Mercury/Relay in USD
- Stripe US for Airbnb-adjacent bookings, charter, e-commerce
- W-9 vendor onboarding into US OTAs and enterprise clients
- USD 62/year Wyoming filing, no public members
Timeline
48h Wyoming filing + max 10 business days EIN + 3–5 days Mercury. Total ~2 weeks from Marigot or Philipsburg. See our packages.
Tax framing
Disregarded-entity treatment by the IRS for single-member LLCs with no US trade or business. Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 mandatory. French-side residents report LLC distributions to DGFiP; Dutch-side residents to Belastingdienst Sint Maarten. Talk to us for the right local advisor.
