Hi @bronze surge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Sora has different availability for Sora 1 and Sora 2, and also differs between web and the mobile app.
Sora 1 (web only)
- Sora 1 on the web (at sora.chatgpt.com) is available in all OpenAI supported countries, including the EU/UK. [Sora 1 countries]
- This applies only to “Sora 1 on Web,” not to the Sora app or Sora 2. [Sora 1 countries]
Sora app & Sora 2
For the Sora app (mobile) and Sora 2 (the newer model), access is currently limited to these countries/regions: [Sora 2 countries]
- Canada
- Korea
- Japan
- United States
- Vietnam
- Thailand
- Taiwan
If you’re not in one of these countries:
- You can still use Sora 1 on the web if your country is in OpenAI’s general supported-country list. [Sora 1 countries]
- You cannot officially access the Sora app or Sora 2 yet.
To “install”:
- Sora 1: no install; use it in your browser at the Sora web URL (if your country is supported).
- Sora 2 / Sora app: only installable and usable if your App Store / Play Store region is one of the countries listed above.

@nocturne thicket can I use vpn to get the app?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The knowledge sources don’t mention VPNs directly, but they are very clear about not accessing OpenAI services from unsupported locations.
OpenAI’s policies say:
- You may not access or offer access to the services outside of the supported countries and territories; doing so “may result in your account being blocked or suspended.” [Services Agreement; Unsupported countries]
- The same rule applies specifically to Sora app and Sora 2: they are only supported in a short list of countries (Canada, Korea, Japan, United States, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan). [Sora app & Sora 2 countries]
Because of this, using a VPN to appear to be in a supported country when you are not would go against these rules and could risk your account.

@nocturne thicket ok so I will wait until it will be available on my country

That’s the right approach.
For now, you can:
- Use Sora 1 on the web if your country is in OpenAI’s general supported list, since Sora 1 is available in all supported countries. [Sora 1 countries]
- Wait for the Sora app and Sora 2, which are currently limited to Canada, Korea, Japan, United States, Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan, with plans to expand over time. [Sora app & Sora 2 countries]
