"Not restricted" means United Arab Emirates is not named on that firm's own restricted-country list - it is not a promise they will open your account. Firms that publish no list are marked as such instead of being counted as accepting.
Firms that bar United Arab Emirates
E8Markets do not accept traders resident in United Arab Emirates, according to their own published lists. Paying them from United Arab Emirates risks losing the fee at verification.
What to check before paying
- Ask the firm to confirm your country in writing before you pay - lists change without notice, and this page is dated 2026-11-08.
- Check where verification happens: at United Arab Emirates it may come before a payout rather than at signup, which matters if you cannot produce documents quickly.
- Read the diligence guide and the payout evidence register before committing money.
