Can a non-U.S. citizen open a STRATA self-directed IRA?

To open a self-directed IRA with STRATA, you must be either a U.S. citizen or a resident alien as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at the time the account is opened. Under IRS rules, an individual is generally considered a resident alien if they meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for the applicable tax year.
