Same question. Filled all forms and nothing - same page again, asking me to create personal or business account…

Same issue happened to me. Although I can login, but I’m not sure if account is really opened or not yet?

I’m from Brazil.  
For me, it isn’t allowed even to fill the forms…  
Is there any movement from Alpaca towards accepting Brazilians?
