If you are using Cloudflare you can create a rule for this:
xenforo.com
Registration Country Ban via Cloudflare
Visit: https://dash.cloudflare.com/ Your XenForo Domain > Firewall Menu > Firewall Rules > Create a Firewall rule Rule name: Registration Country Ban Expression Preview > Edit expression Modify the country codes/domain: ip.geoip.country in...

If you’re not using CloudFlare, my free addon will help, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ozzmodz-country-registration-ban.7173/
I think this is just for paid-for Cloudflare subscriptions - although correct me if I'm wrong. I have no option that I can see with my free Cloudflare subscription.If you are using Cloudflare you can create a rule for this:

So what is the best way to block certain countries if you have a free Cloudflare subscription? Eg AndyB's VPN blocking addon apparently doesn't work if you use Cloudflare

Cloudflare Dashboard > Select Your Domain > Security > WAF > Custom Rules > Create Rule >
Enter a title in rule name, click edit expression, in the enter the countries you want to block, for example....
Change https://domain.com/register/ to your url
Choose Action - Block (or you may wat to challenge)
Place At: when you want the rule to be applied (Start, Finish, Custom (if you have other rules))
Click Deploy.
If you use this fabulous addon, There is an option to block both visits and registrations or both from countries you want.

I don't actually use this as my site is invite only, so cannot confirm 100%, but I think go back to the WAF page and click Custom Rules it should bring up any rules you've created. You should be able to edit the rule and also make sure it is enabled.

If you want a simpler way that gives you more control - including forcing registrations from certain countries to go to moderation for approval, try my addon:
