New Visa Regulations Result In Hardship for
Webmasters, Particularly Those Not Based In the United
States
As most Webmasters know, Visa USA has issued new
regulations related to high-risk Internet accounts.
The regulations have significantly impacted how third
party processors do business and how Webmasters work
with the processors. While US-based Webmasters are
required to pay certain fees, non-US-based Webmasters
are required to not only pay the same fees but also
have a US presence. This US presence requirement has
caused uncertainty and confusion. Specifically, there
has been no definitive statement regarding how a
non-US-based Webmaster satisfies this requirement.
Visa views the regulations as proprietary information
and has refused to release the actual regulations to
any party other than the merchant banks that handle
the accounts for the processors. For non-US-based
Webmasters with significant reoccurring charges, the
failure to comply with the regulations could result in
a major revenue loss. Until the third party processors
actually undertake the registration process, the
confusion will remain.
Following are two articles discussing the issues and
potential solutions impacting non-US-based Webmasters.
It should be noted that the issues do not apply to
US-based Webmasters.

a Presence in the United States - Part I
New Visa Regulations: Problems for Webmasters Without
a Presence in the United States – Part II
For those Webmasters still seeking to create a US
presence at this late date, we have arranged for the
creation of Nevada corporations with a tax
identification number and bank account. For more
