How can I enroll in Apple's Developer Program from Kuwait?

I am from Kuwait. I have Apple IDs associated with the USA and associated with my country of origin. When I try to enroll with my Kuwait based account, I keep getting an error saying:

Sorry, you can’t enroll at this time.

Solution 1:

The short answer is you can’t join if Apple doesn’t offer a store and that SKU in your place of legal residence.

You’d likely want to consult a lawyer familiar with the implications setting up a new legal residence elsewhere or form a company with a legal presence / residence elsewhere. This is more of a bureaucratic / taxation / legal problem than a technical one.

• Purchase Apple Developer Program outside of USA
• Which countries can an individual iOS developer reside in in order to receive payments from Apple?

At a high level, you don’t get the enter into an NDA to accept confidential builds from apple and you don’t get to list on the stores and get paid when you’re not from the countries where Apple is set up today. You can start building and installing apps yourself, though without needing a dev account.
