Our services are not offered to residents or citizens of the territories listed here.
Last updated: 21 September 2026
The information on this website is not directed at, and our services are not available to, any person resident in or a citizen of a restricted territory. Attempting to open an account from a restricted territory is a breach of our client agreement and the account may be closed.
Restricted list
We do not accept clients who are resident in, or citizens of where stated, any of the following countries and territories:
- Afghanistan

We may also decline or close accounts for residents of other countries where local law prohibits our services, where required by sanctions, or at our discretion. We check your country of residence during account opening and may ask for further evidence at any time.
Why territories are restricted
- Licensing — we may not solicit clients in a jurisdiction where we are not authorised to do so.
- Sanctions — international sanctions prohibit providing financial services to certain territories and persons.
- Local law — some countries prohibit or heavily restrict retail CFD trading.
If your country is on the list
You will not be able to complete verification, and any funds deposited will be returned to their source, subject to our AML and KYC checks. Contact help@veltonmarkets.com if you believe the restriction has been applied to you in error.
Changes
This list changes as sanctions, licensing and local regulation change. We update it here and the date above reflects the most recent change.
