Paid Survey Sites That Work Outside the US and UK (2026)

Most lists of the best survey sites are written for people in the US and the UK. If you live anywhere else, you have probably signed up for a site and found nothing to do. This guide looks at which popular sites accept members in which countries, using each company's own help pages, and what to check before you spend time on one.

One honest note first. This guide uses what each company publishes about itself. We have not tested every site on this list with a real payout, and we say so where that is the case. Country lists change, so always confirm on the company's page before you sign up.

The short answer

No survey site is open to everyone everywhere. Some publish a clear list of countries, some say "most countries" without naming them, and some only work in one country. Prolific lists 52 countries and Google Opinion Rewards lists 39. Swagbucks, Toluna and Instuly Pulse accept members in many countries, but the number of surveys you see depends heavily on where you live.

Prolific

Prolific connects members with academic and market research studies. You must be over 18 and have a verified account. Prolific says it is available in most OECD countries and that eligibility depends on where you currently live, not your nationality.

Its list of supported countries includes the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, India, South Africa, Egypt, Israel, Brazil, Mexico and most of Europe, among others. If your country is not listed, you can join a waitlist, but access is not guaranteed.

Google Opinion Rewards

Google Opinion Rewards is an Android app that sends short surveys. Google's help page lists 39 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam. To receive surveys you must be in one of these countries and older than 18.

Toluna

Toluna's terms say members must be at least 16, or older where the law in your location requires it. You must register on the Toluna site for your country of residence. New members receive 500 points on sign-up, a completed profile survey earns 100 points, and points expire 12 months after you earn them. Toluna says rewards can take up to three weeks to arrive, so it suits people who are patient.

LifePoints

LifePoints accepts members from age 16. Its FAQ says 110 points equal $1 and that $5 is the smallest PayPal amount you can redeem. It describes itself as a global platform, but the page we read did not publish a country list, and many of its reward options are US retailers. Check the rewards available in your country before you invest time.

YouGov

YouGov runs panels in the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, and has an international site. Members earn points that go into a wallet, and you can exchange them for a reward once you reach a set balance. Survey invitations depend on the panel being open to people like you.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks says it is live in most countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and in some countries in Africa. It does not publish an exact list on the page we read. If it is not yet available where you live, you can sign up with your email and the company says it will notify you when it launches there.

Sites that only work in one country

Some popular names are not for international members at all. InboxDollars accepts adults who live in the 50 US states and are 18 or over. TopCashback.com is aimed at American consumers, and its terms say its free cash back offers are available only to members in the United States and Canada. If you see these recommended on a global list, check the small print.

Freecash and PlaytestCloud

Freecash publishes a list of countries where PayPal cash-outs are available, and it includes countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, India and the Philippines. Cash-out availability is not the same as being able to earn, so check both before you start. PlaytestCloud says you can join its player panel from anywhere in the world, but most tests are for players in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, so expect fewer invitations elsewhere.

Instuly Pulse

We run Instuly Pulse, so treat this section as coming from us. It is free to join for adults aged 18 and over from most countries. The number of surveys depends on where you live, because research companies look for specific audiences. Most surveys pay between $0.10 and $5, and you can withdraw once your balance reaches $10, to PayPal, a bank account or Mobile Money. Withdrawals are processed manually, usually within a few days.

How to choose a site in your country

Before you sign up, run through this short check.

1. Is your country on the company's own page? A blog saying "works worldwide" is not enough.

2. What is the minimum age? It is 16 on some sites and 18 on others.

3. Can you actually get paid? Check that the payout methods work where you live, and the minimum balance. PayPal does not work the same way in every country.

4. Do points expire? Some sites remove unused points after a set time.

5. Never pay to join. A real survey site is free.

6. Use your real country. Most sites forbid hiding your location, and it can get your balance cancelled.
