HFM: Vietnam is not named in the international notice; acceptance remains unconfirmed. The website is not intended for Japanese residents. This record does not establish eligibility with another HFM entity. Scope: HFM /int/ international website; exact contracting entity not mapped. Tickmill: The opened UK FAQ excludes US citizens/residents. The indexed global FAQ additionally names Singapore, Iran, India and Japan; because regional routing changes the legal entity, those locations need entity-specific confirmation. Welcome Account promotion exclusions, including Vietnam, are not general brokerage exclusions. Scope: Tickmill UK FAQ; regional routing and global exclusions reviewed separately.
