Individual enrollment fails with "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time" (Côte d'Ivoire)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to enroll as an Individual / Sole Proprietor in the Apple Developer Program from Côte d'Ivoire. Every time I accept the license agreement and submit the enrollment, I land on: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."

What I've already checked and corrected on appleid.apple.com, with no change in the result:

  • Legal first/last name matches my real identity (no alias, no company name)
  • Date of birth is set (well above 18)
  • Region is correctly set to Côte d'Ivoire
  • A real, non-PO-box shipping address is on file
  • The billing address on my Visa card (previously a placeholder) is now a real address matching the same city
  • Tried both the website flow and the Apple Developer app (the app redirects me to the website, where "Enroll Now" is greyed out)
  • Phone callback support (CONTACT.CALL.C2C) is not available for my country code, so I opened an email case with Apple Developer Support (Membership and Account > Program Enrolment)

Has anyone successfully enrolled from a country in this situation, or knows what else typically blocks enrollment when all the profile data looks correct? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks!
