English term or phrase: nonresident alien individual
Ich suche nach einer juristisch korrekten und möglichst prägnanten Übersetzung. Mir fallen mehrere Möglichkeiten ein, z.B.:
- Ausländische natürliche Person ohne Wohnsitz in den USA
- Gebietsfremde ausländische natürliche Person
- Gebietsfremde natürliche Person ohne US-Staatsbürgerschaft
- Nicht in den USA ansässige ausländische natürliche Person

**Nonresident alien individual**

Any individual who is not a citizen or resident alien of the United States is a nonresident alien individual. An alien individual meeting either the "green card test" or the "substantial presence test" for the calendar year is a resident alien. Any person not meeting either test is a **nonresident alien individual**. Additionally, an alien individual who is a resident of a foreign country under the residence article of an income tax treaty, or an alien individual who is a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or American Samoa is a nonresident alien individual. See Pub. 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, for more information on resident and nonresident alien status.

Even though a **nonresident alien individual** married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien may choose to be treated as a resident alien for certain purposes (for example, filing a joint income tax return), such individual is still treated as a nonresident alien for withholding tax purposes on all income except wages.

Explanation:
this is from LEO; not short, but says it all

However, since this is a US 'institution', I think a translation would only obfuscate the issue
