Service: Microsoft Store / Partner Center — individual developer account registration (storedeveloper.microsoft.com)

Scenario: I’m an individual developer living in the Republic of Moldova. I want to register a free individual developer account to publish my Windows desktop app (packaged as MSIX) in the Microsoft Store.

Result: On the “Address information” step, the “Country or region” dropdown does not contain Moldova. Neighbouring countries (for example, Romania) are available. My ID document and address are from Moldova, so I can’t choose another country without providing incorrect information.

What I’ve tried:

  • Searched the list for “Moldova”, “Republic of Moldova” and “Moldova, Republic of”: no results.
  • Checked the “Account types, locations, and fees” page on Microsoft Learn: it doesn’t list supported countries.
  • Tried to open a support case (MSA) via the Windows developer support page, but Engage Center shows “No access”.

Questions:

  1. Is individual developer registration currently supported for residents of Moldova?
  2. If yes, how can I complete registration with a Moldovan address?
  3. If not, is there another official way to publish an app in the Microsoft Store (or a working way to open a support case)?
