Unfortunately, you're still not allowed to use Google Cloud Platform for personal usage if you're based in Europe.

Several years ago they emailed (presumably) everyone without a tax number in their account, saying so: https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6090602

Trying to add a billing account just now from a European country doesn't give the choice of account type; it's fixed to "business" and can't be edited.

So without a billing account, it seems nobody in Europe can use the free tier for personal use.
