TL;DR (updated Sep 8, 2025)

  • You can register if you live in a country Amazon accepts for seller registration (see official list).
  • If your country isn’t accepted, some sellers register a business established in an accepted country. Amazon then verifies the business and the primary contact’s ID. 
  • Payouts: Check whether bank/disbursement support is available for your country and currency, or use a supported provider.

Amazon’s meteoric rise has transformed its marketplace into a global juggernaut, empowering sellers from every corner of the world to connect with millions of customers. While it’s easy to take for granted, Amazon’s international marketplaces have become a gateway to unprecedented opportunities, granting businesses access to far-reaching audiences that would’ve been unimaginable just a couple of decades ago.

But with Amazon marketplace expansion continuing and new markets emerging, it’s crucial for businesses to understand which countries are eligible to sell on the platform in 2025. In this article, we’ll dive into Amazon’s global reach through its marketplaces and which countries are eligible for sellers to take advantage of this promising opportunity. Let’s get to it.

What if my country isn’t on the list?

If your country isn’t on Amazon’s accepted list, you can’t open a seller account using that residency. Some sellers set up a legal business in an accepted country and register that entity instead. If you go this route, Amazon will still verify the primary contact’s identity and the entity’s documents, and you’ll need a payout method that Amazon supports. It’s recommended to get proper legal/tax advice before you proceeding.

To keep current, always check the live “Countries accepted for seller registration” page in Seller Central.
