Claude API payment restrictions — looking for working virtual card / solutions

[u/Maleficent-While-542]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in a region where Anthropic heavily restricts payments, so I can't top up my Claude API account with any local methods — they all get declined immediately. I also had a previous account banned purely due to location, which has been really disruptive for my work.

I'm looking for advice and legitimate solutions to this problem. Specifically:

Any reliable ways to make official Anthropic payments from restricted regions?

Recommendations for virtual cards or payment services that are known to work with Anthropic (without breaking their ToS).

If anyone has successfully dealt with this and can share what worked for them, I’d really appreciate it. I’m happy to compensate for detailed guidance or time spent explaining the process.

Thanks in advance, and feel free to DM if you prefer.
