Using Bitvavo While on Holiday

Summary
In this article, you will learn whether you can use the Bitvavo platform while on holiday or temporarily abroad. You'll also discover why access to Bitvavo may be restricted when you are outside the UK.


You can use Bitvavo as usual when you're on holiday or temporarily abroad, as long as you have a stable internet connection. This allows you to log in, trade, and send or receive crypto, just like at home.

Note: if your connection is slow or unstable, loading the platform and performing actions may take longer than usual.

Bitvavo is not available in all countries

Bitvavo UK is specifically designed for residents of the United Kingdom. If you are travelling abroad, you may not be able to access the platform due to local regulations, geolocking, or restrictions in internet access.

If you are abroad and cannot access Bitvavo, using a VPN connection might be a solution. Preferably use a VPN that respects your privacy and allows you to connect through the UK.

Note: Bitvavo does not provide support or guarantees for the use of VPN services. Use them at your own risk.

Bitvavo UK platform availability

Please note that Bitvavo UK is a dedicated platform for UK residents. UK users cannot access or use the EU Bitvavo platform, as UK accounts are managed under a separate regulatory framework.


Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I can’t access Bitvavo while abroad?

First, check if your internet connection is stable enough. If the platform doesn’t load, consider using a VPN that connects through the UK, as Bitvavo UK accounts cannot be accessed via the EU platform.

Is it safe to use Bitvavo on a public network abroad?

Preferably avoid using public Wi-Fi without extra security measures. If you do use a public network, make sure to enable a VPN and that two-factor authentication (2FA) is activated on your account.
