I wrote extensively about the running costs of a Delaware C Corp for foreigners: https://jmstfv.com/stripe-atlas-taxes

Basically, expect around $800 to $1,000 in maintenance costs per year. LLCs may be cheaper, but open you up to tricky tax setups (you could be personally liable for U.S taxes).

I don't think you need that.

There is a non-trivial legal and accounting overhead that you will have to deal with to keep the corp running.
