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!
