Cannot Get Microsoft 365 Developer Program E5 Sandbox as an Individual Developer

Hi everyone,

I'm a solo developer very interested in building and testing Microsoft 365 applications, especially involving Graph API, Teams bots, and SharePoint integrations.

I recently signed up for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program with hopes of accessing the free E5 sandbox environment for development and learning purposes. However, after completing the registration, I received this message:

> "Thank you for joining. You don't currently qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription."

I've reviewed my profile to ensure everything reflects my intention to build Microsoft 365-related solutions. I selected options such as:
- I'm an independent developer
- I plan to use the sandbox for testing and learning
- I want to build solutions for Teams and Office

Despite this, the sandbox is still not provisioned for me. I'm not part of any enterprise, but I’m sincerely hoping to use Microsoft 365 technology to learn and create useful tools and possibly publish some apps in the future.

Is there any way to request a manual review or reapply? Or should I wait and try again later? Any help or suggestions from the community or Microsoft staff would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
