Passed Upcomers 10K Challenge but KYC Doesn't Accept Pakistani Nationals – Any Solutions?

Hi everyone,

I recently passed the 10K challenge with Upcomers, but after completing it I found out that they don't accept Pakistani nationals for KYC verification.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there any legitimate solution for this?

I know using someone else's identity for KYC is against the rules, so I'm not looking to do anything fraudulent. I'm just wondering if there are any legal alternatives, such as registering through a company, or any exceptions they've made.

For context, I'm a Pakistani citizen currently living in Türkiye.

I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have dealt with this before.

Thanks!
