Payments in Ethiopia

Hello,

I was the moderator of an Azure MVTD event today in the CEE area.
Event: Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Fundamentals

During the event, quite a few people from Ethiopia have complained that they can't sign up for Azure.
This is because Ethiopia doesn't provide credit cards and a credit card is needed to set up the subscription or pay for Azure.

Since we have received quite a few complains about this, I thought that I should raise a ticket.
Please note that even though my team only handles MVTD events in the CEE area, we still have a few people joining from outside the CEE region.

What can we do to help the people in Ethiopia join Azure as well?
Even if they don't have a credit card?

With kind regards,
Stefan

    @Stefan Cigusievici (WPP Group USA LLC) Thanks for reaching out. Sharing the previous discussion on how you can create the azure account without a credit card.
    You can also use the debit card for the signup as per the discussion. Anyone with the student email ID can join using this link.

    In case if you still need help then please reach out to the Azure subscription management support team by raising a support request using this link.
