Who would have guessed? Seriously?
An ITIN is a number issued by IRS to people who are not eligible for a SSN, such as nonresident aliens and certain foreign nationals, but who are required to make certain tax filings.
Having provided an ITIN, you then use the card to travel overseas.
Depending on how far overseas you were, you should have been able to hear the AML alarm bells ringing !
