What the list does and does not tell you
The list is about payment: whether Mercor can contract and pay you where you live. It does not say whether a given role is open to your country. Some Mercor listings ask for a specific location, licence or work authorization, so check each listing. Mercor also notes that Stripe and Wise keep expanding, and that it reviews the list regularly. For how payouts work once you are in, see how Mercor pays and the payout date calculator.
