# Restricted Countries List

Due to the restrictions put on us by our US FCM (our Clearing firm), and broker, we cannot accept traders who are **citizens** or **residents** of the countries listed below. Or traders who are visiting these countries for an extended period of time and are predominantly trading from these countries. 

Please note, this applies if you are a citizen **or** resident of any country on the list.

If you were resident in a permitted country, but a citizen of a prohibited country, you would **not** be able to open an account with Astrofund.

Similarly, if you were a citizen of a permitted country, but a resident of a prohibited country, you would also **not** be able to open an account with Astrofund.
Finally, if you are visiting these countries for an extended period of time and are predominantly trading from these countries, you would also **not** be able to open an account with Astrofund. We would suggest traders do **not** trade if they are visiting these countries. 

Please note this is **NOT** Astrofund's decision and is beyond our control, so please don't ask us to make exceptions.

During the set up of a funded trading account the broker and clearing firm will run a KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti Money Laundering) check. 

**You will also be required to provide a bank statement or utility bill as proof of address, and a government-issued ID.**

If you cannot provide these documents, or fail these background checks (for example, if you are a convicted felon) we will not be able to proceed with opening the funded account, and you will not be eligible for any refunds. Thank you for your understanding.
