I had posted on IBKR before I saw your response... AFAIK you have to live in ireland..altho I have citizenship there I am going to France, so it adds complexity and I believe they will not accept...love to be wrong on that ! I am also USA citizen so uncle Sam will tax me to beyond the grave...

I believe Jim has already addressed this but I understand Interactive Brokers serve all of the EU from two countries - Ireland and I forget the other - might be Lithuania. So I don't think you should have an issue. You are right about ETF's. This is not a broker issue though. It relates to documentation to meet some EU directive. I don't believe any of the US ETF issuers bothered to meet the requirement. I still have some QQEW from before this came in. I can hold or sell but not buy. Someone did mention that you might be able to acquire them via options - i.e. write (sell) an in the money PUT option on the ETF and let it be assigned on expiration. I have not tried to see if this works.
