I'm in Canada, so they don't allow me to join. I also hold a European passport. I was thinking of going to my embassy to get my passport that is allowed to pass the ID verification. But no idea if they would do address or not verification also. Seems like this won't work in the end maybe? If it does, and doesn't require address I'd be okay. I wouldn't use a VPN but a VPS.
In both tier of KYC'd accounts, they won't ask for an address verification
, see: https://www.mexc.com/learn/article/17827791509561, and they probably still has no-
mandatoymandatory kyc account tier as well.
But like with other custodial exchanges, there is always a chance they could ask for more information including a proof of address. Your activities are always tracked by them and god knows what will trigger it. I've seen enough horror stories from folks getting their funds locked by exchanges. I wouldn't risk it especially with huge amounts.
