Hi there.
The only redirection WPML offers is related to the browser's language (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language), not Geolocation, so you can't redirect users based on their current location.
Example of how browser-language redirection works: Chrome is set to English, the visitor is redirected to the English version of the website.
To redirect based on location, you would need a Geolocation plugin for that.
You can check our list of compatible plugins here:

Here, you can also find some existing tickets related to the same topic:

I hope that you will find the information above helpful.
Kind regards,
