Lucid Trading excludes anyone who is a citizen or resident of a jurisdiction on its restricted-country list. Check both before paying for an account. Where you are sitting when you register does not settle either question.
The list below contains Lucid’s 82 published entries, checked on 10 October 2026. It includes countries and named territories. The search only filters this list; it does not assess your account eligibility.

Names follow the official English list. “Papua New Guinea” appears across two lines in the source and is shown here as one entry. The list includes Iceland, Lithuania, Slovenia and Bulgaria, so EU or EEA membership alone does not answer the eligibility question.
The United States is not on the published restricted list. A US residence still does not override a restriction tied to citizenship of a listed country.
Check citizenship and residence separately
Lucid uses an either/or rule: listed citizenship or listed residence is enough to fall within the restriction. For example, Nigeria is listed. Moving to an unlisted country does not, by itself, remove a restriction based on Nigerian citizenship. This is an application of the published rule, not a report of a specific customer’s KYC result.
Lucid’s short country article does not explain how it handles dual citizenship, temporary travel, disputed residence or a recent move. If your situation needs that distinction, ask support for written confirmation before checkout. State all relevant citizenships and your current residence accurately.
Useful questions for support are whether your circumstances meet the account terms, which documents they need, and which payout methods would be available to you. Keep the answer with the terms that applied when you bought the account.
Check the payout method too
Account eligibility and access to a payout method are separate checks. Lucid’s payout-method page lists Plaid for US traders, WorkMarket for US and international traders, and cryptocurrency for international traders. That broad description does not confirm that every international trader can use every method.
Confirm the method available to your account before paying. The payout guide covers the trading conditions for a request; passing those conditions does not resolve a country restriction.
Do not use a VPN to evade the restriction
Lucid’s terms of use prohibit circumventing geographical restrictions and require accurate, current registration information. A different IP address does not change your citizenship or residence. This is a prohibition on evading the restriction, not a claim that Lucid bans every use of a VPN.
If you already bought an account
If you discover that a listed citizenship or residence applies to you, contact Lucid before spending more on the account or relying on a payout. The country article states that affected traders are ineligible. It does not publish a fixed refund, forfeiture or KYC-processing outcome for every case. Ask Lucid to confirm what happens to your specific account.
The same check belongs before a new purchase or after a residence change. Use the live official list for the latest version. If you compare another firm, read that firm’s own eligibility policy; Lucid’s list cannot establish another firm’s answer.
