I enrolled an Apple Developer Account since yesterday and it still pending. I wonder how long it takes to get approve from Apple? Please share your experience.
And enroll message this :

To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.
Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.
Help me
Thank you
mine has been 3 weeks now for personal account, although I have been debited still no response from apple support team
Same here... Not happy.
Just placed my order on 1 June 2025 (money charged from my bank account) and also WWDC coming so I think I will have to await a bit longer than usual for my developer account activated :/.
I have been suffering from this issue for a long time, and finally, today, I was able to enroll in the program and get my account.
First, about a year ago I used my main Apple ID to enroll in the program and I filled everything but I couldn't make a payment since I didn't have the sufficient amount.
Then recently I tried again with the same account and in the apple developer account I saw the message like "you cant enroll at this time." then I contacted support regarding this matter and they told my account is not eligible any more to get a developer account (probably I haven't made the payment last time)
So I created a new Apple ID about a couple of weeks ago and continued the enrollment process on the website, and I filled in all the details and came to the payment section. But even though I added my card details, the payment was not made. I thought that after a day or two, I would be charged. But it didn't happen. then I again contacted support and notified this issue and I got this reply.
"Hello Lasitha,
Thank you for contacting Developer Support. My name is Benson, and I am happy to assist you today.
I understand your concern about the membership not activating after the payment attempt. Since your previous order was canceled and Apple received no money, we recommend using the Apple Developer App to submit your new enrollment.
When you’re ready to submit an enrollment:
1 Open this email on an iOS, iPadOS, or macOS device.
2 Tap here to open the Apple Developer app from the App Store.
3 Sign in to the app and follow in-app guidance to enroll."
Basically they said to enroll with the Apple Developer mobile app instead of using the webflow.
then I tried that way and I was charged (99USD) thorugh in app purchase I belive.
So I thought like now I will have the account. But again I have waited about 3 4 days and no reply came. then I contacted support aggain and I was told this.
"This is Quadir with Developer Support, I hope you’re doing well today. I understand you’re having issues regarding purchasing your Apple Developer Program membership and I’m more than happy to help.
If you submitted your payment 48 hours ago, follow these steps to troubleshoot your payment issue:
Open a Private Browsing window in Safari and try paying again. Make sure the billing information is correct and that it matches what your financial institution has on file. Confirm with your financial institution. If you still can’t complete your purchase, try another card. It can take up to 48 hours to process your order after you submit it. "
So they are saying something about my bank details, But I was already charged. then immidietly I contacted the support again saying I was already charged (BTW I have already told them that with my previous report. I dont know why they sent me this).
After the last report today I received an email saying my enrollment is complete and I now have a developer account.
