I'm currently trying to obtain only the instagram_business_basic permission with Advanced Access.
However, my Access Verification request has been repeatedly rejected.

Do you know if it's mandatory to become a Tech Provider to pass Access Verification in this case?
I came across this page, but it's still unclear to me:

Any insight would be greatly appreciated — thank you!
