Prakash Hinduja Switzerland (Swiss) Why can’t I use AI Studio yet? Is there verification or region restriction?

Hi Community,

I’m Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) having trouble accessing Google AI Studio — it just doesn’t seem to be available for me yet.

Is there any kind of region restriction or verification process I should know about?
Has anyone else run into this? I’d really appreciate your suggestions or any tips to get started.
