I'm not an American/US Citizen, can I still get Funded?

Yes, of course you can.

After successfully passing the Trader Career Path® / Gauntlet Mini™ and receiving your funding offer, you will be required to fill out a W-8BEN form and identify yourself as the holder of a financial account in the US. The form requires your Foreign Tax Identifying Number (FTIN), which is issued to you by the tax jurisdiction of your residence. This is very important so you can be correctly engaged according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and take advantage of any potential tax benefits if applicable. For details on taxation, we recommend you contact your tax advisor.

The W-8BEN form can be downloaded and completed here:

It's a very simple form to fill out and must be submitted along with relevant formal identification. You can do this for free for yourself. ​

Citizens of the following countries are unable to get funded owing to sanctions or other reasons:

Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Burma (Myanmar), Central African Republic, Cuba, Gibraltar, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Nauru, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen.
