Subject: Not Eligible for Microsoft 365 Developer E5 Sandbox

Hi, I’ve completed my Microsoft 365 Developer profile with all required information, but I still see the message “You don’t currently qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription” and I’m not able to set up the E5 subscription.

Could you please help me understand what I can do to become eligible or if there’s a review process pending?

Thanks in advance.
