Does Upwork restrict some countries from working on it?

[Btaliat]

Definitely yes. Upwork operates based on the US laws and policies. There is a need for the platform to comply with the terms and conditions of the country. Most countries that are under US sanctions, like Crimea, North Korea, Iran and others may not be allowed to partake in Upwork. Users ask to show their identities before they register. This that violate the rules may have their accounts banned or suspended. Can your country participate?
