Restricted countries
These are the lists of restricted countries the firm itself publishes, copied as printed on the date shown. A country that is not on a list is simply not named by the firm. That is not a statement that the firm accepts traders from it, so check the firm's own page before you pay.
Countries Ineligible to Trade (Topstep help centre: Am I Eligible to Trade with Topstep?)
The firm's list. Applies to: every programme.
34 entries as printed | Read 17 Oct 2026 | Source (opens in a new tab)
The firm's conditions: Citizens of these countries can't trade or receive payouts. Eligibility is based on both citizenship and permanent residency: residing in an ineligible country makes a person ineligible regardless of citizenship. A citizen of an ineligible country living in an eligible one may be able to trade (possibly) by submitting a government-issued photo ID proving permanent residency in the eligible country plus a bank statement from that country, reviewed by Topstep's Trust team. Trading from an ineligible country, even briefly while traveling, may trigger a review by the Trust team. Minimum age 18; no US citizenship required. The list can change at any time based on updates from brokerages and other circumstances. The Terms of Use also bar users located in, ordinarily resident in, or accessing from a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and prohibit VPN or VPS use on accounts.

Countries Eligible for an XFA, Not LFA (Express Funded Account but no Live Funded Account)
Jurisdictions with limited service. Applies to: every programme.

The firm's conditions: Traders from these countries can join Topstep, trade and pass the Trading Combine, earn Express Funded Accounts, and take up to $200,000 in total payouts. No Live Funded Account access (no call-up from an Express Funded Account regardless of performance; the Terms of Use, Section 30, say the funded account stays in a simulated environment for residents of a Live Restricted Jurisdiction). Select traders from these countries may be considered for the Pro Account track rather than the Live Funded Account, based on performance. Topstep gives the reason as brokerage restrictions. The list can change at any time.
