    I am a worker from India. Now I am planning to go to UAE for a visit. Is it possible to operate my Mturk account there? Is there any problem with the Mturk policy? Somebody please help. I am really confused.

    It is impossible. You should make new account with new address and new id proof and so, when you change country. If you logged in to your existing account from another country, it's a violation of Mturk TC.

    But I dont have any permanent address there. Also If I am registering with that country I am not a able to transfer my earnings to bank. Because only Indian and US account will get cash. So what to do? Is it possible to use via Indian proxy servers?

    Consider this, say I am in some country for 6-8 months. Working on mturk in that period is a violation against TOS?

    Surely, I am using my own account, I am not creating another account.

    I couldn't find it in the Mturk Policy either. I have read it in a forum, smartcanucks or something. I could be wrong. Better you just contact the Mturk support.

    In the forum someone said that if you change country, you should delete the existing account and create a new one in the new country. That's it.

    Oops... We were all wrong. The mail came from the Mturk support at this morning which says:

    Yes you are able to work while in another country. However if you request a Rupee check it will be sent to the Indian address on file.
    If you move permanently to another country you will need to ask us to close this account and open a new one.



    So you go to any country and keep turking; just don't ask for the cheque.
    Cheers...
