Progress Timeline

Activity Summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in January 2026 found that an account can be created, but selecting Syria as nationality suspends the account, and the company confirmed by email that the platform is blocked for Syrian users. The team contacted the company in February 2026, but only received an automated acknowledgment, and there is no resolution.

Contacted Company

Outreach email sent to Toptal at support@toptal.com and legal@toptal.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for Toptal under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

Remote Work Reaches Everywhere Except Here

In January 2026 someone in Syria signed up for Toptal and had the account suspended the moment they selected Syrian nationality. Nothing about them changed. Only the disclosure did. The same moment repeats across hundreds of services, at exactly the points where a career is made.
