Enrollment stuck in Pending from Nepal: Order Acknowledgement received, card never charged (Enrollment ID HJZ2B53VP8)

Hi everyone,

I'm an individual developer in Nepal and my Apple Developer Program enrollment has been stuck in "Pending" since October 27, 2026.

What happened:

  • I received an Order Acknowledgement (US$99) on Oct 27 saying it would be processed within 2 business days. Nothing happened after 7 days.
  • I tried again on Nov 3 and received an identical Order Acknowledgement. The Thank You page says up to 2 business days again.
  • My card (Visa ending 9271, issued by a Nepali bank) has never been charged.
  • developer.apple.com/account still shows "Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now."
  • The Apple Developer app on my Mac says enrollment isn't available for this Apple Account and sends me to the web.
  • During enrollment, my passport upload failed the first time. The second time, the upload option wasn't shown, but the application was still submitted.

Enrollment ID: HJZ2B53VP8

I have contacted Developer Program Support and am waiting for a reply. I've seen similar reports on these forums, including from other developers in Nepal, who said they tried multiple cards without success.

Has anyone from Nepal (or anywhere) got past this stage? Did anything fix it, such as a different card, a call to support, or a re-submitted ID?

Thanks!
