I can’t register in GCP as individual when I select my country

Hi.

during the first step of creating GCP account, you are asked to select your country, whenever I select “Saudi Arabia” and go to the final step I’m unable to select my account type as an individual, it’s always business type.

if I go back and select a different country let say for example “UK” then to the final step I’m able to either specify my account as individual or business.

I don’t understand the reason, I thought it could be taxes but I see that business is able to set tax ID, also they happily charge my credit card with G-Pay without asking for individual taxes.

 I contacted sales and after providing a recorded screenshot, they asked me to contact technical support. I don’t know where and how to contact them..

Update (10-06-2022 06:00 AM): I had no way but to dm GCP Twitter account, they took my email and said the billing team will contact me on email.

Update:

After months of following up by email, I have received the most neglectful answer from the downstream team. 
I’m glad GCP isn’t available in my country and I hope they keep it that way.
