Hi u/SoRa333 — I’m u/gerdemb from the comments on your earlier post:
I’ve now ended up in exactly the same situation.
E*TRADE required me to update my address to Japan (I no longer have a legal U.S. address), and after doing so they restricted my account. Since then I’ve received inconsistent answers — everything from “your accounts will just be frozen but can remain open” to “you’ll need to close everything.” I’ve also been given a deadline of April
If you’re willing to share, what ultimately happened with your Roth IRA? Were you able to keep it open (even if restricted), or were you forced to close it?
If anyone else has navigated this successfully while living abroad, I’d really appreciate any advice.
