Can I move my LLC from one state to another and not have to obtain a new EIN?
I have relocated and will do business in both states. Can I keep my LLC in my former state and do business here as a foreign LLC or is it best to open a business here and close the one in my former state?

If you move your principle place of business for your limited liabilty from one state to another, you will need to register with the new state's Secretary of State's office to do business with your entity per state law. Your limited liabilty company would still be an out of state entity doing business in the new state.
That would be the best way to go about your matters from a time and cost perpective. Likewise, once you have an issued EIN for your entity from the federal government, you will not need to get a new one if you move your limited liability's operations to a new state and operate under that entity.
