How to Open a FXGT Account in Japan
Opening an FXGT account means registering with an email and password on FXGT's own site, verifying your identity (KYC), and choosing an account type before funding it.
Open FXGT Account →What you need to open an account
- a valid email address
- government-issued photo ID for verification (KYC)
- proof of address for full verification
How long: account creation takes a few minutes; full verification (KYC) may take longer depending on document review
Eligibility: eligibility and available account types can depend on country of residence — confirm on FXGT's own registration page
Step by step
- Click the ‘Open Account’ button on this page to start your registration.
- Enter your email and create a secure password.
- Complete the registration form with your Japanese residential details.
- Verify your identity (KYC) — upload a government ID and proof of address.
- Choose your account type and base currency from the options offered at signup.
- Fund your account — there is no minimum deposit.
- Download MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 and start trading (or practise on the demo first).
Identity verification (KYC) for a Japan-resident applicant typically means a passport or residence card (zairyu card) plus a recent proof-of-address document — check FXGT's current accepted-document list before starting, since requirements can change.
Before you deposit
It is worth starting with a free demo account to get comfortable with the platform and test your strategy with virtual funds first.
