Gemini 1.5 pro access in me-central2?

Issue: Is it possible to request grandfathered access to Gemini 1.5 pro for a particular project in me-central2? If so, then how?

Context:

  • We have contracts in KSA with very strict data locality requirements – all compute must be hosted within KSA.
  • We have historically used Gemini 1.5 pro to meet this requirement. However, 1.5 has been deprecated and is unavailable to new projects.
  • Could we request temporary access to 1.5 Pro as a stop gap until Gemini 2.5 flash is deployed in me-central2?
