Sorry, I missunderstood your question :-(...you are right, it's not possible to manually add users from other Office 365 tenant in Azure AD. You need to use the B2B approach

Thanks Juan.
Unfortunately, when they add users manually (using Azure AD Portal) it appears that while they can add directly individual MS accounts, they are instead forced to use the B2B procedure (i.e. the CSV) even to add a single O365 (external) account.
In other words, they have not found a way in the AAD portal to add manually just one (f.e.) O365 external account without having to create a CSV for the B2B procedure.
Can you confirm?

Hi Juan. The problem is not with hotmail.com (and similar MSA) users, the problem is with O365 accounts.
How do I manually add to AAD an O365 account (from another tenant) as external user?
