Contact TD Ameritrade. Then report back here with your findings.

1. Just try it, it is online so what is the worse that can happen? They reject the application.

2. I bet Robinhood would do it.

Just open your account with your country of residence, fill in the W-8 BEN form and be done with it. Why the hustle ? But you gonna need fresh residence papers,bills, utility etc to give, also a bank account

TD doesn't accept most non-US customers

As a European no, I heard that Canadians can do it and some other countries like Singapur etc. TDA didn't want to comply with ESMA reporting/rules (wasn't worth the hassle), but once the Schwab Merger is done, Europeans can get the TOS platform via Schwab.
