I currently do not have any Vanguard accounts. I think I'll go the self employed route or maybe unemployed. Will Vanguard require me to show my tax return as part of the opening a new account process? I plan to open everything online, so I shouldn't have to actually speak with anyone.

* In my opening post, I meant to say that I can NOT mark myself employed by and International School, as Vanguard will not let expats open new accounts.

Hello,

My first year as an IT is almost over, and it was amazing! In a few weeks I'm heading back to the US and want to open some Vanguard index funds. The trouble is Vanguard doesn't allow US Expat's to open new accounts. I have maintained a US address and phone number, but part of the application makes you indicate your current employment status. Can/should I mark myself unemployed, retired, self employed, or what? I just know that I can list myself as currently employed by an international school. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Should I accept a teaching position with the large Saudi oil company schools?

With the new ISR rule enforcement I'm not sure if I can mention the name of the company, sorry.

So, in general, would it be considered a benefit if a school paid 100% of your salary in US dollars?
