How long does it take to review my application?

Applications are reviewed within 1–2 weeks. Refer to Open my account for additional information.

Which visa types qualify?

If you’re not a US citizen or permanent resident, you may still be eligible to open an account with a valid US visa, including certain work and student visas. Depending on your country of citizenship, you may be asked to provide a valid US passport, Permanent Resident Card, or US immigrant visa.

Can I access my account while traveling outside the US?

Account access may be restricted in certain locations based on US regulations. Attempted logins from these locations may result in account restrictions. To learn more, refer to Traveling with Robinhood.

Are there different requirements for Robinhood Gold, margin trading, or options?

Yes. These features have separate eligibility and approval requirements:

• Robinhood Gold: Refer to Robinhood Gold for subscription details and requirements
• Margin trading: Refer to Margin investing for eligibility and risk disclosures
• Options trading: Refer to Getting started with options for eligibility criteria

Each feature has its own approval process separate from your account application.
