The supported countries vary by card type based on the physical location of the transaction. Country-specific requirements are enforced by every entity in the payment chain; the bank, card issuer, Laso Finance, the merchant, the business merchant processor, card network, Apple/Google/Samsung Pay, PayPal, etc. all play a part in enforcing the country restriction. That means that even if you get a Laso U.S. card while outside the United States, it will not work.
The physical location of the card "tap" or spend is the relevant information for the country-restriction. Of course, for an online purchase, there is no physical tap, so it's based on a combination of the business' location, the user's location, and if shipping a physical item, where it's being shipped to.
If you are physically outside the country of a Laso card, please do not try to use it. It will not work, it will use up time, and potentially cause you to lose funds. More importantly, it greatly increases our risk of missing on compliance which could have serious consequences for the Laso team.
US/CAD non-reloadable (US NR/CAD NR) cards
The US NR card can only be used if physically located in the United States.
The CAD NR card can only be used if physically located in Canada.
Please note: Users of these cards must be physically located in the respective countries.
Any attempts to use these cards while located outside of the respective countries will result in the cards being declined and may result in loss of funds due to the card being unusable. Don't try to bypass the checks, the card will not work, avoid the headache.

For the INTL NR, reference the FAQ accordion below the order form on the INTL NR order page.
