Hi Experts,
I'm from UAE, we're running Office 365 and while creating the tenant I selected the Europe region because at that time the United Arab Emirates data location was not available, now Microsft has launched their data center in UAE. Due to compliance issues, we want to move the Office 365 data to my country, how can it be possible?
According to the articles below, this option was provided at the time of UAE country launching but is now unavailable.

Your problem is complex and needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis. From the link you provided, the migration channel is currently closed, right? Where did you not get support from Microsoft? You can get support for Microsoft 365 for business:

@Vasil Michev suggested the best solution for you.
