Pre-patriot act this was a breeze.
They all interpret the rules differently but you shouldn't need more than to fill out a W8 to get a tax id. Might take a lot of shopping around to find a bank that isn't full of retards that know how to do everything.
If you get a DBA or incorporate in the US you are going to have a lot of unnecessary tax complications.
