I tried opening an account on Robinhood. But they wouldn't approve my application because I am a citizen of Myanmar (Burma) and the country was under economic sanctions. But those sanctions were cleared a bit over a year ago and when I reached out to Robinhood support again (with the proof detailing there is no more sanctions), they ignored my contact. So I decided to stick to Vanguard and TD for index fund buying and stock trading respectively (both of which accept Myanmar citizens as account holders). I think Robinhood's support team is fairly small and they don't have the capability to support a bit more unusual cases like mine.
