If you own a corporation in another state and plan to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia, you must register as a foreign corporation in VA. To get foreign corporation status, you'll have to complete an application for a certificate of authority with the State Corporation Commission (SCC).
Ing to VA Code § 13.1-1023 (2019), an operating agreement isn't actually required in Virginia—and if you have one, it “need not be in writing.” But don't be fooled. Having a strong operating agreement—on paper—is essential for your LLC.
§ 13.1-919. A foreign corporation may not transact business in the Commonwealth until it obtains a certificate of authority from the Commission.
The SCC is Virginia's central filing office for corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and business trusts. Visit the Clerk's Information System (CIS) to create or register your business, complete filings, make payments and perform other business activities online.

Foreign qualification is when a legal entity conducts business in a state or jurisdiction other than the one in which it was originally formed. (It is not to be confused with being a business in a foreign country.)
