The XM $30 no deposit forex bonus is available to verified retail clients in 190+ countries, paid through XM Group's IFSC-licensed entity. The exclusions are concentrated in two groups: jurisdictions where retail trading bonuses are prohibited by regulation (mainly EU, UK), and a small number of sanctioned or restricted jurisdictions where the broker itself does not onboard clients.
Eligible regions (summary)
- Asia: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and most South-East and Central Asian countries.
- Middle East: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt.

- Oceania: Australia and New Zealand (subject to local entity).
Excluded under regulation
Retail clients in these regions cannot claim the XM $30 no deposit bonus. The exclusion is regulatory, not commercial — it applies to all bonuses across all brokers in scope of these regulators.
- European Union (all member states) — under ESMA product intervention measures, monetary trading promotions for retail clients are prohibited.
- United Kingdom — under FCA rules, retail-trading bonuses are prohibited.
- United States — XM does not onboard US retail clients.
- Canada — restricted at the provincial securities-commission level.
Jurisdictions where the broker does not operate
This list changes; verify on the live signup form. Typical exclusions:
- Sanctioned jurisdictions (e.g. North Korea, Iran for some entities, Syria, Cuba, Crimea region).
- Some Caribbean and Pacific micro-states with no financial-services framework.
- Specific restricted jurisdictions added under the broker's group AML policy.
If your country is borderline — what to do
- Open the XM signup form and select your country of residence. The form itself will indicate whether onboarding is supported.
- If onboarding is supported, complete KYC. The bonus card will appear in the Members Area only if your residency permits it.
- If you live in the EU or UK, no broker can legally offer you a no deposit forex bonus as a retail client. This is a regulatory limit, not something you can work around with a VPN — KYC residency rules will catch the mismatch.
- If you have moved to an eligible jurisdiction, update your proof-of-address documents to the new country before applying.
