Question

I am a microsoft certified AI engineer but finding it difficult to practice due to inability to use the azure subscriptions. I have issues subscribing with naira cards and need support. I tried using my foreign virtual cards but the location won't change. I need a way out to resolve this.

Hello Jude Onukogu,

Thanks for your question.

This is a known issue as Nigerian verve cards are mostly not accepted. Try a Mastercard.

Prepaid and virtual cards are not accepted as payment for Azure subscriptions.

Contact your bank or card issuer to verify that your credit card is enabled for international transactions. For more information about supported countries/regions and currencies, see the Azure Purchase FAQ.
