Where this comes from
Derived from Bitpanda's help-centre article Countries supported for verification, read on 6 September 2026. It is an inclusion table of 46 ticked countries and territories, and the page treats it as complete: it tells the reader to check the list to see if their country is supported, says verification is only possible in certain countries for regulatory reasons, and names Argentina, absent from the table, as a country where verification is not available. 42 of the 46 names match this site's roster; Aland Islands, Faroe Islands, Svalbard and Jan Mayen and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have no roster page, so every other roster country counts as unsupported. Two footnotes qualify rows without removing them: France is ticked but phone numbers from overseas France (DOM-TOM) are not accepted, even though Reunion carries its own tick, and the United Kingdom is ticked with a note that UK residents can once again register through Bitpanda Broker UK Ltd. The companion article Who can use Bitpanda? and the User Agreement dated 8 July 2026 add that anyone based in the United States, or a citizen of it or of a country under UN, EU, US or UK sanctions, cannot open an account. The list here is derived from https://support.bitpanda.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013898239-Countries-supported-for-verification, read on 6 September 2026.

Is bitcoin legal in Vietnam?
Bitcoin is legal to own in Vietnam and illegal to spend, and from 1 September 2026 it is penalised to trade on an unlicensed platform. The Law on Digital Technology Industry, effective 1 January 2026, recognises crypto assets as property, and Resolution 05/2025 established a five-year pilot for licensed exchanges under the Ministry of Finance. Decree 284/2026, issued on 16 July 2026 and in force from 1 September 2026, is the first measure to penalise the individual trader rather than the platform: domestic investors who trade through a provider not licensed by the Ministry of Finance face fines of 30 to 50 million dong, rising to 70 to 100 million dong for assets reserved to foreign investors. The licensing window opened on 20 January 2026 and is capped at five operators, with minimum charter capital of 10 trillion dong and foreign ownership limited to 49 percent; no exchange had been licensed as of August 2026. Crypto remains barred as a means of payment.
