NB: For those not caught yet, YouTube has been cracking down on foreign accounts so most international countries are blocked for new signups, and they are cancelling Premium subscriptions once your current term runs out. And they know exactly what they’re doing because all of the countries with similar high pricing to Australia still allow signups. There seem to be pricing bands.

This is the only region I can find that is a worthwhile amount cheaper than Australia. Nothing like the past, but it’s something.

  1. VPN to Mexico (I used the cheap TorGuard deal).
  2. Navigate to YouTube Premium (https://www.youtube.com/premium) in the browser and sign up.
  3. I don’t know if this is required but for the post code I added an extra zero to the end of my Australia post code (which ends in zero) so it just looked like a typo. I used Revolut.

That simple. No special accounts required.

    My Pakistan family membership was charged last night of $4.96 AUD to my Macquarie bank account. So far no email yet about the cancellation but since many of you guys are getting cancelled from Pakistan membership I suspect mine won't be far behind.

      Did you use your old account or make an entirely new one?

      I'm trying to figure out whether existing compromised accounts are being individually flagged, and thus whether it's worth keeping the ruse alive via an entirely new gmail that's created and signed up to YT in another country.

    Hotspot VPN + Revoult worked + Mexico worked for an annual membership. Revoult froze the transaction. I allowed it and it went straight through

    Same account that was hit for turkey. still in period before turkey ended.

    Got Israel to work. Urban vpn $9.79 Single account

    • gazer on 01/09/2024 - 00:53

      Even when I connect to another country (eg Phillipines) and see that currency with Urban VPN, when I go to pay I get the "Transaction declined. This purchase requires a payment method from your billing country. [OR_RECR_05]"

      how do you get around that, when you can't change the country in payment screen? The payment profile has a random address in the VPN country…

      • Blueberry22 on 02/09/2024 - 12:19

        i used a suncorp card and that issue didn't occur to me

          I also tried using the suncorp card that had worked for Turkey, but wouldn't this time….

          ended up going the cheaper Apple India gift card route anyway..

      Can confirm Israel works with NordVPN, a bit over $17/month for the family plan.

    I think the problem is youtube has now blocked the popular VPNs. I tried a few countries with a brand new account (without a payment method set up). youtube jump straight to a page showing "cannot verify your country". Tried both PIA and Surfshark. Only mexico works

  • Sunman on 16/09/2024 - 20:51

    I get to the payments page for both Isreal and Mexico, but after trying both my 28 degree and paypal, payment screen just keeps spinning. Left it for an hour and it still keeps the loading animation. Any thoughts?

    • SmokeyTheCorgi on 16/09/2024 - 21:55

      What VPN are you using? I used NordVPN to connect to Mexico City and used Revolut MXN and that worked.

      • Sunman on 16/09/2024 - 22:02

        Using Nordvpn. Maybe it's my 28 degree card, might need to set up Revolut.

      • Sunman on 18/09/2024 - 13:13

        So how did you sign up Revolut under Mexico. My country is automatically set to Australia after I did the sms code thing.

        Or did you sign up Revolut as Australia as your country but opted to pay in MXN?

        • SmokeyTheCorgi on 18/09/2024 - 20:29

          Yes. Sign up to Revolut as normal. Open an AU Wallet, and a MXN wallet. Buy AU dollars in the app, then do an internal conversion to MXN and use that to purchase.

          • Sunman on 19/09/2024 - 15:57

            @SmokeyTheCorgi: Did all that but still the same, when I try and add the Revolut card on the payment screen it just keeps loading after entering the details. Any ideas?

            • SmokeyTheCorgi on 19/09/2024 - 21:20

              @Sunman: Don't know for sure. Make sure on Mexican VPN, your billing address is Mexican post code, you have the proper MXN amount in your revolution account, make sure you approve & unfreeze the account in the app.

              • yayo321 on 08/10/2024 - 01:27

                @SmokeyTheCorgi: Do you need to link your physical revolut card to the Mexican wallet? I'm a bit confused on how to make the payment.

    Not sure if this will help anyone but I was kicked off YT family Turkish plan today.

    I managed to successfully sign back up to an individual plan at 75.99TRY/month by using my Turkish Apple account and signing up via the YT Music app. This uses preloaded credit from my Turkish Apple account which has been loaded up via giftcards at Turgame. Cant be bothered writing a full tutorial but i'm sure others can! I havent tested this with a family subscription which also is available via this app method.

    • Pyrock on 21/09/2024 - 03:39

      Does this method require you to create a new YouTube account (with the Turkish Apple account)?
      Would like to keep existing data on my current account if I can.

      • Lukey90 on 21/09/2024 - 11:06

        No, you can keep existing YT account. You will need Turkish apple account (new or old) to do this trick.

      worked by re-subbing through youtube premium family on my turkish apple account using turkey apple gift cards. Was able to keep my existing youtube family settings. Best to use a seperate apple device from your main device to keep the sub going as you will need to cancel all subscriptions changing back to your main apple account on the device.

        How long did it take for your Turgame card to come through? I've been waiting for a couple of hours and it's still stuck in 'Processing'

        • ggdd on 13/10/2024 - 18:51

          Around 2-3 hours I guess.

      • Bubbleshark on 15/10/2024 - 19:59

        Did your youtube got cancelled first or did you do it before the service stopped? Did you load up or will you do month by month (I fear that if they catch up on that, we will be sitting on a load of apple credit in turkish lyra)?

  • Emilimu on 19/09/2024 - 08:20

    • SmokeyTheCorgi on 23/09/2024 - 11:24

          • ghoulie1 on 30/09/2024 - 11:11

            @Emilimu: GamsGo had a thing where you had to make sure that your account was in Australia. Not sure if that's the issue that you hit by being an Australian account trying to join an Argentinian family? Maybe try changing to Argentina then click the invite link?

    So I went to Mexico was able to sign up with a month family membership which is AUD$21.60 through Revolut today. Unfortunately can’t get a family annual.

    • andylch on 07/10/2024 - 10:34

      How to setup Revolut? Just add a new currency and the payment system will use the correct currency automatically?

      Can we use it to pay YT in Philippines Peso?
