Stripe Connect supports businesses in 45+ countries. A US LLC (Delaware or Wyoming) is one of the simplest setups for Stripe Connect in the US. A UK Ltd works well for UK and EU Stripe Connect. The best option depends on your primary user geography.
Yes. A non-US resident can be the owner and operator of a US LLC and register that LLC for an Apple Developer Program account. You will need the LLC's formation documents, EIN, and a US registered address (the registered agent address satisfies this requirement).
