The TikTok Creator Rewards Program (formerly the Creativity Program Beta) is officially available only in select regions, including the US, UK, France, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Korea.

For users outside these areas, accessing the program and cashing out requires a workaround that essentially involves setting up an account that TikTok recognizes as being from an eligible country.

Here is a general guide on the steps and requirements, along with how the "cash out from anywhere" part is typically handled.

1. Official Eligibility Requirements

To be accepted into the program, you must meet the following criteria, regardless of your location:

    Age: Be at least 18 years old (or 19 in South Korea).

    Followers: Have a minimum of 10,000 followers.

    Views: Have at least 100,000 authentic video views in the last 30 days.

    Content: Post original content that is at least one minute long.

    Account Status: Have a personal account in good standing that abides by TikTok's Community Guidelines.

2. Bypassing the Location Restriction (The Workaround)

Since the program is geo-restricted, the main hurdle for international creators is creating an account that is correctly tagged as being from an eligible country.

The most common method involves a new account setup on a clean device or browser profile using a VPN and/or a local SIM card.
Step   Action   Purpose
1. Clean Environment   Use a factory-reset or clean phone/tablet, or a new browser profile on a computer.   To ensure TikTok doesn't detect your real location from prior data.
2. Remove/Change SIM   Remove your local SIM card from your phone, or use an eSIM/physical SIM from an eligible country (e.g., US or UK).   TikTok can use your mobile carrier/SIM as a primary location indicator.
3. Use a VPN/Proxy   Activate a VPN or Proxy to connect to a server in your chosen eligible country (e.g., US, UK, France).   To mask your actual IP address and appear to be browsing from the target country.
4. Create New Account   Open the TikTok app (or desktop browser) and create a brand-new account.   The location is set during the account creation process, based on the network you're using.
5. Content Check   Scroll the For You Page (FYP) for a while. If you see content and trends specific to your chosen country, the setup has likely worked.   This confirms TikTok is pushing content relevant to your target location.

Once the account is created, you must then meet the 10,000 followers and 100,000 views requirements with original, 1+ minute videos.

3. Cashing Out from Anywhere (Tax Information)

The final step is getting paid. You need to provide valid tax information to withdraw your earnings. This is where most international creators get stuck, but there are flexible solutions:

A. Providing Tax Information

    Non-US/UK Tax Options (for some countries): Some creators who set their account location to countries like France or Germany have reported being able to declare themselves as non-taxable persons or provide VAT/Tax ID from their home country during the application, as the process can be less stringent than the US.

    US-Based LLC: For a more reliable solution, many international creators form a US-based Limited Liability Company (LLC). This is a common and relatively inexpensive service offered online. The LLC provides an Employer Identification Number (EIN), which can be used to fulfill the US tax ID requirement for the TikTok program.

B. Payout Method

The cash-out method is the easiest part of the process for international users:

    TikTok typically pays out to a linked PayPal account.

    Your PayPal account does not need to be from the same country as your TikTok account. You can link a PayPal account registered in your home country to the foreign-registered TikTok account.

    The minimum withdrawal threshold is $50 USD. Payments are processed around the 15th of the month.

Disclaimer: This process involves bypassing TikTok's regional restrictions and can be subject to policy changes, account flags, or new verification measures at any time. Proceed at your own risk.
