Creating an Azure Active Directory B2C Tenant

I've been trying to create an Azure Active Directory B2C Tenant as described in the following Microsoft Article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/active-directory-b2c-get-started

This article uses the old azure portal, though, and when I tried to create a B2C tenant in the new one, it simply created an Active Directory, with no option to make it B2C. I tried doing it through the old portal and the option to custom create a Directory, like in the tutorial, was no longer there.

I'm wondering if it is still possible to create a B2C tenant, or has Microsoft depreciated this option. If it is still possible, am I missing something? What do I need to do now to create one?

I tried it just now and I was able to create a B2C directory using old Azure Portal. The option to designate a tenant as B2C is disabled when I select a country where this feature is not available (e.g. India). What country did you select? – Gaurav Mantri
I tried a different country and now it worked, Thank you! – cvanbeek

At the time of this answer, creation of an Azure AD B2C tenant is only possible through old Azure Portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com). Also, there are certain countries/regions where you can't create a B2C tenants.

From this link:

B2C tenants are currently unavailable in the following countries or regions: Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay and Venezuela. We plan to include them in the future.

If you select one of these countries from the country dropdown, the checkbox for This is a B2C directory will be disabled. As of now, you would need to select a country where creation of B2C tenants is allowed.
