  1. Hello, thanks for the content.

    One question, is the Non-resident contractor license also applicable for non-US citizen, or does it only refer to non-residents in the state of Delaware?

    Thanks

    1. The Non-Resident Contractor License in Delaware applies to contractors who do not reside in the state, regardless of their citizenship status. This means it is for businesses or individuals based outside of Delaware, whether they are from another U.S. state or another country.In general, anyone, except residents of a few restricted countries, can establish a Delaware company as a non-resident and conduct lawful business operations from anywhere in the world.

      However, your citizenship status can significantly impact the cost of obtaining a surety bond. Non-U.S. citizens typically face higher bond rates, sometimes reaching up to 15% of the bond amount. If you have the opportunity to obtain a Green Card, it’s worth considering, as it can substantially reduce your bond costs.

      Also, non-U.S. citizens may have additional federal and immigration-related requirements to meet before they can legally operate as contractors in the U.S. It’s best to consult the Delaware Division of Revenue to ensure compliance. Additionally, if you’re unsure whether your business activities create a substantial presence in Delaware for licensing and taxation purposes, you can complete the Nexus Questionnaire and seek guidance from the Delaware Division of Revenue.

      Good luck!
