Can a non resident get SSN and/or ITIN from US?
Answer:
You cannot apply in advance for a SSN or ITIN number before you enter the US.
You can apply for a SSN if you have your work permit or your Green Card.
There are different types of SSN cards issued, depending on what grounds you need the card for. eg: For work purposes only or not valid for employment etc etc
How to obtain a SSN and what documents you need to take are listed here: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10002.html#how...

yes, only if you have a visa to work here. Forget it if you're coming as a tourist.

Yes. If you have a valid work visa, then you can apply for an SSN. Otherwise, for tax purposes, even as a nonresident you can apply for an ITIN.
You can't apply for it until you're actually in the country.
The only way you'll be able to get an ITIN from the IRS is if you're not a U.S citizen and do not qualify for a SSN.
Alien taxpayers who need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may be able to secure one from outside the United States.
