I can't sign up for an OpenAI account

Hello,

Hi,
I come from a country that is not on the list supported by OpenAI.
However, I am researching and developing a chatbot application through OpenAI for my project.
So how can I register and use OpenAI in my country?

Thanks.

You might be able to use a cheap VPN. Or you could just contact support and get the advice. Maybe you can ask them to add you country. If its that easy. Also what country are you from?

I used a VPN to sign up, but I can’t add my credit card to the payment method.
I come from Vietnam.
I tried to contact them by email, but no one answered.
Do you have another way to contact them?

If you go to beta.openai.com there is a support option there. Who did you contact?

I sent an email to support@openai.com
I used the chat box in the contact section, but their only BOT replies.

Im having the same problem. Anyone knows why a unlisted-Country-issued credit card (VN credit card) is declined by OpenAI?? My wish is that OpenAI will add more payment options that’s more largely available across the globe, AKA CRYPTO!

Can’t sign up to Open Ai when I get to the part when you’re supposed to dial in your ogine number. The reply I get is ”It looks like this is a premium phone number. Please provide a valid, non-premium phone number to continue.”
Any Ideas?

Hello, if you are in a country that is not on the list of supported countries (OpenAI API) then unfortunately, you cannot use OpenAI services. We are always working to expand access but there are many limitations.
