Hi @BuchaAjmal-2978 , unfortunately if we do not support the country yet an account cannot be created. We are constantly expanding though, so be on the look out! This thread was recently posted and may contain information pertinent to you. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
James

Okay so what if I create an account but choose United States? what would be the difference? will I still be able to use and work normally? what would happen if I choose that, since my country is not listed?

Hi @YvanWillems-1398 ,

technically it will work. But depending on the distance between your location and the location/region of the Azure datacenter you might get a higher network latency (for instance if you plan to use a SiteToSite VPN connection).

You can check the latency here: https://www.azurespeed.com/Azure/Latency

It looks like this if I run the latency test from Germany to Azure region "West Europe" and "West US".
