A nonresident alien is someone who is not a US citizen or resident. US citizens, resident aliens and residents are known collectively as US persons.

 Before investing:  Pay special attention to the section on Tax issues highlighting the impact of US tax legislation even on investors domiciled outside of the US. In both cases, take care to understand these tax rules and restrictions early on. This will help to avoid huge problems later.
