If you tried to sign up to a Youtube Premium Family via India, you probably hit a dead end, with most cards ending up declining due to this reason and this reason. Well if that is the case, hopefully Youtube Premium via Turkey will be a breeze (albeit a slightly higher cost monthly), especially for those who have Google One via Turkey already (confirmed working for me, you will not need to enter a new address - took me like 10 seconds).

Google is increasing the prices for Youtube Premium in several countries worldwide, including USA, UK, Canada, Argentina, Turkey, Japan etc. This means Argentina is no longer the cheapest and most OzBargainers will be migrating from Argentina other countries.

For price references, Youtube Premium via Australia is $14.99/mth for individual plans & $22.99/mth for family plans

Annual subscription via YouTube India long running post

Available Plans

Plan Monthly Cost Yearly Cost
Individual TRY ₺29.99 (~A$2.57) TRY ₺299 (~A$25.86)
Family TRY ₺59.99 (~A$5.14) N/A
Student TRY ₺19.49 (~A$1.69) N/A

Instructions (No Current Subscription)

Note: If you're signing up for a family plan, best to add your Australia family members / accounts into a family group before signing up. To add family members: https://families.google.com/families

  1. Connect a VPN to the server in Turkey

  2. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium and if it shows currency in TRY (Turkish Lira), continue choosing your membership.

  3. Enter your Turkey address (get a fake one here) and proceed to pay by credit card.

  • If payment fails, try creating a Turkish payment profile. You can create a new payment profile by following these steps by alcheron: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the Turkish profile.

Instructions (Transferring from a different country)

Note: If you're signing up for a family plan, best to add your Australia family members / accounts into a family group before signing up. To add family members: https://families.google.com/families

  1. Go to https://m.youtube.com/paid_memberships and click on your current subscription. Click “manage” then continue to cancel

  2. Once cancelled, the current subscription will continue until the end of the billing period. But you now have an option to resubscribe back to Youtube Premium

  3. Connect a VPN to the server in Turkey

  4. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium and if it shows currency in TRY (Turkish Lira), continue choosing your membership.

  5. Enter your Turkey address (get a fake one here) and proceed to pay by credit card.

  • If payment fails, try creating a Turkish payment profile. You can create a new payment profile by following these steps by alcheron: go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings and clicking the pen icon next to "Country/Region" and a link to create a new profile should pop up. You can then add details for the Turkish profile.

Notes

  • Most VPN services will connect to Turkey, unlike India. Those include NordVPN, Private Internet Access (PIA), free Windscribe Chrome extension (recommended), ExpressVPN, etc. If one doesn't work, use another VPN

    • If you're using Windscribe and it shows different currencies: keep turning the windscribe on and off. Each time you don't get TRY, turn it off and on, then refresh the Youtube sign up page. You'll eventually land on TRY. Go to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ each time you turn it off/on and see if you land on Istanbul

    Just a FYI to the OP, Australian price for Youtube Premium is now $14.99, at least for me, so an even bigger savings.

    Population of Turkey must be now double the real number :)

      Use Windscribe.

    Thanks OP - successful migrated over to Turkey from Australia in these steps:

    Cancelled Australian Youtube premium family (which already had 6 members)
    Connected to Turkey with Windscribe VPN chrome extension
    TRY 59.99/month shown straight away
    Signed up to Turkey Youtube premium family using 28 degrees card - left address blank.
    Winning!!!

    According to the spot rate right now, TRY59.99/month is $5.06AUD/month.

    Compared to $22.99AUD/month, that's a saving of $17.93AUD/month or a whopping $215.16/year!!!

    Thanks again OP

    • I Smell Pennies on 22/10/2022 - 12:00

      No worries, glad I could help

    • bobvegas on 22/10/2022 - 16:34

    Family plan in Argentina going up to 699 ARS (AUD$7.28), while it is 60 TRL (AUD$ 5.14). So the saving will be $2.14/month, right? I'm wondering if its worth the hassle!

    • G-rig on 22/10/2022 - 16:15

      You're looking at it the wrong way.
      An individual account went from $1.25 to $4..
      So $5 for a family instead is a good deal.

  • CodeXD on 22/10/2022 - 12:52

    Best to add family members into a family group before signing up

    This should be the first step in your instructions for family membership. Otherwise you will need to either VPN for their account to join, or cancel the whole thing and start again =/

    • G-rig on 22/10/2022 - 12:53

      No likelyhood of barred if diff surnames etc?

        No, the error specifically says:

        "It looks like you're not in the same country as the person who invited you"

        They don't take the name into consideration.

    • I Smell Pennies on 22/10/2022 - 12:54

      People should read the notes section - they have heaps of time to, and the deal isn't running anywhere.

      Not everyone is signing up to a family plan, I see a lot have signed up to individual plans as well

      • CodeXD on 22/10/2022 - 12:55

        If they are doing individual, India is cheaper.

        Not everyone is signing up to a family plan, I see a lot have signed up to individual plans as well

        You start the deal with "If you tried to sign up to a Youtube Premium Family via India, you probably hit a dead end"

        • I Smell Pennies on 22/10/2022 - 12:57

          I'll put it up there, give me a sec

    • Obs on 22/10/2022 - 14:16

      Probably should add a note to ensure family members have also accepted the invitation and are part of the family group before subscribing. I found this out the hard way!

      • CodeXD on 22/10/2022 - 14:20

        Haha exact same thing happened to me too.

        I had to cancel the Turkey payment so I can add families. Good thing is the 1 month free trial actually ends in a month, and didn't end as soon as I cancelled.

        • Obs on 22/10/2022 - 14:32

          Yep I cancelled as well but now we have a broken family group with only half the members with premium :) Tried vpn'ing to accept the invitations but nothing worked for me. Oh well, half the family happy with premium is good enough. I'll fix it properly next month and get another free month's trial. Good thing I used a fresh burner account as the family manager.

            +1

            @Obs: Go into google pay settings and delete all non-AU payment profiles. This will set your account back to AU. I then reinvited people and they were able to accept. Make sure everyone accepts, then you can follow the steps again to set it up.

      • Obs on 22/10/2022 - 14:58

        I found a semi fix and thought I'll share.

        • Cancel any outstanding invitations.
        • On the family manager account, goto pay.google.com, choose Settings, select the payment profile located in Turkey, then at the very bottom choose Close payments profile.
        • Your account should now be back in Australia, so simply resend the invites again.

        Note: Simply closing the profile didn't work for me initially. It needed the re-invites, using the original invites didn't work.

      I then went back to subscribe and clicked the student option, clicked continue, then input payment details (wise card) and it was accepted.
      Still a 32% increase over previous (normal, non-student Argentinian membership ~$1.28 AUD -> $1.69 AUD), but way cheaper than the Argentinian price hike was going to end up.
