Can You Use Robinhood Outside the US? Countries and Rules (2026)

Quick answer: A standard Robinhood account is for US residents who are at least 18. Robinhood also runs separate services in the UK, the EU and Canada, with different products and rules. We didn’t find an official Robinhood service for India or Australia. You can usually reach a US account while travelling, but not from restricted countries.

Who can open a US Robinhood account?

• You must be at least 18.
• You need a valid Social Security Number, not a Taxpayer Identification Number.
• You need a legal US residential address in the 50 states, Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands.
• You must be a US citizen or permanent resident, or hold a valid US visa.

Robinhood says it can’t make exceptions to these rules, though active military stationed abroad may qualify. See its official what you need to get started article.

Can I use Robinhood while travelling?

Robinhood says you can access your account from almost anywhere. You can’t access it from restricted locations, which it lists as Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Sudan and South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and Venezuela. Trying to log in from these places may lead to an account restriction, and the list can change. Long-term travel can also bring extra reviews and restrictions. See Traveling with Robinhood.

Stay safe if you live outside these countries

• Don’t give a false address or someone else’s details to open an account. It can get your account restricted.
• Be careful with anyone offering to open or sell you an account.
• Only use the official app and robinhood.com.
