If you want to trade in America, you can open an EGold account. online. Its international.
You will need a social security number, it is issued by the INS and is numeric in the form nnn-nn-nnnn. You would need a visa like the H1-B. It took me ages to get the visa, then the 'green card', don't use either now. This may help: http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/.
Do you have a social security number?
If so just like everyone else. Walk in and ask to open an account. Should take 20mins or so.
If not I am not sure, you can. But get the phone book out and call around and ask them if it is possible to open an account without a SS #.
all you need is where you live and a passport.
