Yes! You don't need an SSN or ITIN. We use your passport to complete the IRS phone application on your behalf. Your BSN (burgerservicenummer) is not used.
Do I need to visit the US?
No! Everything can be done remotely from the Netherlands. We handle the IRS phone application, and many US banks (Mercury, Relay) allow remote account opening.
Can my Dutch BV get a US EIN?
Yes. You can get an EIN for your Dutch BV, or form a US LLC/C-Corp and get an EIN for that entity. Many Dutch companies form Delaware C-Corps for US venture capital.

Getting an EIN is often one of the first steps for DAFT applicants. However, an EIN doesn't grant visa rights. Consult an immigration attorney for DAFT visa questions.
