.EU : can US residents buy or own .eu domains?

[SuperBrandables]

Can I register / own .ue domains even if I am from the US?

Does anyone have any experience on this?

Thanks. lane:

as far as i know, NO
how ever if u have a contact person residing in EU, you can in his/her name

To own the name, you need a business connection with the EU or an address in EU.

I may leave the EU for a while myself (temporarily) and plan to register a PO Box in the UK then. That way I have an address in EU and don't loose my .EU domains. Maybe you can do that as well, if it's worth the money to you.

After you do that then set the P.O. Box to foward the mail to you if possible.

Thanks for the info. I also found out that the easiest way is to set up a corporation there. I am in the process of looking into that now.

Unlike .us or .ca citizens of EU countries that are living outside the EU cannot register .eu

I live in EU-Portugal and have a computer company registered here, so I can help in registering eu domains. If you are interested, please contact me, we can talk it out.
Thanks.
