Please Note

• If you relocate to a different country, you will be able to retain your account as long as you are not moving to a country in which IBKR is prohibited from transacting business due to government sanctions
• Even if relocating to a permissible country, you may be required to initiate a new application and request a "full account manual transfer" of eligible assets once your new application has been approved. Whether this step will be required depends upon the country you were residing in and the one that you are moving to as IBKR maintains multiple entities, each of which has been formed to carry client accounts based upon local regulatory requirements and IBKR policies.

If a new application is not required, IBKR will update your country information on your behalf.
