## About

Exclusive freelance network connecting businesses with top developers, designers, and experts

## 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.

## Official timeline

- 2026-02-09 — 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.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-09 — Note. Toptal support acknowledged receipt of the request.
- 2026-01-23 — Investigated. You can create an account, but selecting Syria as your nationality shows an error saying your account is suspended. Their email response confirmed the platform is blocked for Syrian users.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
