I finally managed to complete payment.What worked was asking Apple Support to create an order for a direct wire transfer and mentioning the fact that this problem is widespread with a reference to this forum discussion.I was then able to transfer 99$ directly to Apple's bank in USA. My bank charged me extra for the transfer but the payment succeeded.This is also a new account not a renewal.Good luck!

That solution is very strange,1. You need a "many years old appleid"2. I need to purchase a random app just to get a developer account? It's absurd.3. I don't have 2 phones to replace numbers.

Please do not close the thread. The steps to register are unclear.1. I don't have a "many years old appleid"2. Why should I need to purchase a random app just to get a developer account? It's absurd.3. I don't have 2 phones to replace numbers.

Please create a tweet and tag tim cook and apple support. I did so but they just told me to contact developer support!If more people tweet then hopefully someone important will see it and get it fixed

I tried to but feedback assistant always fails to sign me in

To transalte what regismani said,"I finally managed to pay my develop account! After 3 months of trouble ... I managed to get the information to make a transfer to APPLE USA. So I was able to pay them that way. It's long, there are additional costs, but it worked! Good luck to all !"Claude31, do you happen to have the information required to make a direct transfer?

I have the same issue from India. Been trying from 3 months. The only solution I saw was here https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/125293I've requested more information, hopefully someone will answer

I already sent a tweet to tim cook and apple support. They just told me to contact developer support!Please create another tweet, maybe someone important will notice and get this fixed.

Can you please share the link of the post from the user who managed to get it fixed?Maybe they did something which I didn't

You can contact support by going to your developer account -> contact us -> provide your number and they will call you.But I'm afraid they won't be of much help.I have the same problem. I've been trying to create an account for 3 months now.3 apple ids, 4 cards and 2 banks later, it still doesn't succeed.Support is useless and so is my bank.I'm from India.
