Hi,
I came to US on L1 visa and will be here for 2 years. I am paying taxes for the income I get in US. Am I eligible to open IRA roth account? After I go back to my country, Can I operate from there?

Thanks,
MS

MS:

YES, you ARE eligible to open a Roth IRA provided you do not make too much annually (the income ceiling is $160K if you are married and $110K if you are single).

Once opened, you can manage it from anywhere in the world. Just make sure you fill in all the required forms.
