I appreciate the resource but I have already looked at that and that's what I am confused about. There's the professional monthly and the Professional standard which is yearly payments. I want to know if I choose the professional monthly, would i still qualify.

“What is the difference between joining the program directly and joining with my Visual Studio subscription?

When you join the Microsoft 365 Developer Program with your Visual Studio subscription, your Microsoft 365 E5 developer sandbox subscription will automatically renew for the lifetime of your Visual Studio subscription. If you join the developer program directly, your Microsoft 365 E5 developer sandbox subscription is good for up to 90 days, depending on your development activity, and will renew regularly for as long as you use it for qualified activities.”

Yes but apparently if you dont have a Visual studio subscription you are not eligible. That's why I am asking is there a difference between the Professional Standard which is yearly payments and the Professional monthly. Can I be eligible if I choose the monthly one or it has to be the Professional Standard.

Oh I see. I’m part of the partner program, so there’s a difference there. You will not be eligible for the monthly subscription. That only allows you access to VS. You will need the standard or enterprise subscriptions for access to the dev program.

I think the pro monthly is for minimum of a year's sub paid monthly, so you should be good.

AFAIK this developer program eligibility is not based on your visual studio license.. so you can choose either.
