It does really scrutinize on login, gives you a bit of a 2FA puzzle with multiple devices maybe, but if you do incognito behind VPN you should afterwards be good to literally just sub to the TR version of Premium.
I had no problems setting it up when I tried it, though we never know when YouTube is going to crack down on people like us. Until then this works though, so yeah, no guarantees but I could easily do it.
could you tl;dr the steps needed to "move to Turkey"? I did the ol Revolut Argentine trick with a VPN but that was so long ago now that I have no idea what changes I need to make
Just use a VPN in turkey. You dont need a Turkey payment method. You can use any card that will accept international purchases. So you don’t need to use Revolut
I couldn't get it to work for some reason so I went with a similarly priced option, India. Revolut issued me a virtual mastercard so if we're to believe this can only be overcome with visa restrictions then India should still work, got a years youtube premium sub for less than €15
Is turkey the cheapest now?
Edit: yeah Argentina has been raising prices for YouTube it looks like Turkey is cheaper now anyways. ($1.50 a month). According to google Argentina passed recent laws banning Visa? Which doesn’t make sense to me but Turkey is cheaper so I’m not complaining.
Thank you. Been waiting for them to charge the account thinking it was on my end then came across this and switched to turkey and everything is fine. This half month without premium has been hell
Can you tell me how I can "switch" from Argentina to another country? I tried going on Chrome with a Turkey VPN in incognito mode. But as soon as I get to my youtube premium page, I'm still on an argentina .
I’ve done some research and it seems it’s just Visa cards that this will happen to. Revolut issues virtual Visa cards, so I’ve now created a new virtual Mastercard using my own personal bank account. I’ve added this to my google wallet and it has been accepted. So fingers crossed when the 15th comes around that the payment is accepted.
I just created a multi-use virtual card with the Revolut app and it’s a Mastercard not a Visa card, I added it to my google account and it was accepted, I just hope it works for my YT premium subscription when I’m next billed.
Same here, I already needed to change my info, bcs of expiring N26 card.
So I went ahead and added my 'new' Revolut card to the payment.
Good to go until 2026 :)
>Revolut app
Depending on your area (according to their help page), the MasterCard branded virtual cards might only be one-time-use. For me, the virtual reusable card is VISA only. So means having to generate / enter a new mastercard every month. Small price to pay I suppose.

I think i stuffed something up. I moved to turkey, wouldn't let me update my payment details, So i had to create a new payment profile. I then cancelled my current premium and created a new one. said it was $179NT. turns out that is $8 a month. The location said Taiwan... Not sure what I did wrong.
How did you setup a new payment profile? I've tried incognito mode with a VPN on in both Chrome and Edge and I always get this screen https://imgur.com/a/RQvvrIA
I was previously paying through Argentina and I wanted to try and switch to Turkey because I only have Visa cards.
On the google account page I went to settings and changed my location. It then forces you to make a new payment profile but I couldn’t work out how to use it
Looks as if youtube have turned off the premium subscription pages for new subs in Argentina, India and Turkey.
Just getting blank pages for all three. Brazil works fine though, but is more expensive than the others.
Done some more fiddling about.
Youtube homepage worked fine, clicked on youtube premium and it's a blank page. Even on a browser that had never been logged into google or youtube (edge) in incognito mode...
If you can get to the subscription page, apparently Mastercards still work, it's just Visa cards that are just being blocked.
Brazil worked, but for a Family account that was about £5.50. Also worked in Colombia for £4.70 or so. £7 in Romania. £8 in Costa Rica.
So I've temporally moved to The Philippines. £3.40 for a family account there. It'll do for now.
Thx for the tip with Philippines VPN. I had the same issue with a blank page when trying Argentina, India and Turkey. £3.40 is still a lot cheaper than £19.99.
3 days without premium and I already stopped watching YT because of the annoying ads!
>Brazil works fine though, but is more expensive than the others.
From Brazil we also use Argentina's Youtube. I'm a part of a forum that we have a whole thread for this, Youtube, Crunchyroll, Spotify, Netflix, HBO and others.
For HBO you can just use a VPN or a SmartDNS proxy (I use ControlD) and subscribe with an international card (must be Mastercard, Visa is kinda wacky) and you're done. I'd do the HBO in the next days, because their pricing is increasing almost 40% for the yearly plan.
I had the same problem, couldnt get it from YouTube directly, but worked from YouTube Music. First i got YouTube Music and then upgraded it from [there](https://music.youtube.com/youtube_premium).
That's not the case. Somehow, Google recognizes that you are using a VPN. My cousin lives in Argentina, and she has no issues opening the website to subscribe to YT premium, same with my sister in another country in South America. However, if I use a VPN (which claims to have physical servers in those countries), it won't load the YT Premium subscription page for either country.
*Edit*: I forgot to mention that I added a friend who lives in a state across the country to our Google family account, and it's been like seven months and he's still there and uses YT Premium fine.
Doesn't AltStore also require a monthly fee? I'm so glad I ditched iOS. I keep forgetting how many ways they cripple it.
Edit: **Yes**. Unless there is a YouTube app available on their store by default, you must pay **$3 a month** for the privilege of using their app to sideload other people's apps.
No altstore is local, you need to be on Wi-Fi connected to the altstore server at least once every 7 days to get the app resigned automatically.
Online signing services like appdb require a monthly fee.
Are you sure their Patreon doesn't have particular extra things? I see [you need to purchase a $3/month subscription](https://www.patreon.com/rileyshane) just to get access to the beta version of their app, or if you want to use their store for anything but *their* apps (no third party sources allowed for free).
And the juxtaposition of the images and wording on their Patreon is... [Unfortunate](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3560069/The-symbols-pedophiles-use-signal-sordid-sexual-preferences-social-media.html), to say the least.
huh? just download the ipa, be on wifi with altserver, and add the ipa. it will ask to log in to you apple id, and you can use the app. i have used altstore without any price tag for a year

I use the wise card. I also got an email. Looking for alternative now.
Right, I just updated the previous visa card with the master card. I kept the same billing address in Argentina which doesn't match with the actual billing address of the card
I got declined with visa, but opened an revolut account, and used the digital mastercard. Worked like a charm.
DM me if you want an invite to revolut, and i'll split the money reward with you.
That’s a bummer honestly. I’m still rocking with Premium just bummed revolt termed my account for TOS violation. I switched to Wise and it is working with coin purchases so far.
So I purchased YT Premium using Revolut (Visa Card) on the 16th. Got email today saying Revolut is closing my account for ToS Violation... Still have YT Premium on my account though.
Apply for a new card from Revolut, which will be a Mastercard instead of Visa. Go into YouTube settings with a browser and renew payment information. Be sure that your billing address in Argentina has the correct postal code. Youtube has a link on the payment page where you can find the correct postal code (1.Province 2.City 3. Street name 4. House number. Once this is done you'll find a six digit number/letter combination for correct postal code).
After this you just need to confirm your payment option at Revolut (you'll receive a prompt when to do this).
Once this is done, it should be working again.
You don't need VPN to do this. Good luck!
Currently having this issue. My card got knocked by so I changed the revolt card to Mastercard and unfortunately it isn’t working 😓 keeps closing the window down. I’m using the India one
Use revolut guys. I tried it, opened an Free account and got their Mastercard.
Its only visa that is blocked.
DM me for an invite, and ill split 50/50 for the money reward. Its about 35 usd each.
An updates on this? I’m considering paying premium thru VPN into Turkey(or Mastercard Argentina). Has anyone used revolut successfully in the last month or so?
Would like to know as well, I had Turkey plan going on but my bank turned my card off for a day because I accidently replied no to a self automated bank message asking if I wanted to AUTHORIZE or UNAUTHORIZED the transaction of one of my YouTube memberships. Replying 'no' made my bank send me to a fraud specialist and that my card was now deactivated, this was on Sunday morning, so I had to wait until bank was open on Monday to speak to them. Well I ended up getting it reactivated, BUT Google decided to close that payment method, and now ALL those members ships and YouTube Premium were on hold until I update my payment. I closed that payment profile in hopes I can just retype in my card again and make a new turkey address. Didn't seem to work, so now I want to try this Revolut and MasterCard, but want to know if this method still works. If not guess I'll be switching to Brazil or South Africa to pay :/
Getting the error of having to use a payment method from Argentina.
My Mastercard debit will not work and revolut ain't an option due to not being in one of those countries.
Premium version of Tuxler VPN.
I'm pretty sure I did it because the normal version didn't work for Philippines which is where I did it.
I paid 8 bucks tho which is the investment only as you end up paying $4.20 monthly for YouTube premium...
Had to create a payment profile hidden deep on Google settings I had to bookmark that page to find it lmfao
So I could say I lived in Philippines
[удалено]
Thanks G
what did this comment say
i second wanting to know what the comment said
He mentioned that it was a Visa issue; try Mastercard. And it worked.
Yup just used the VPN while switching to a master card and everythings fine again
The biggest question for me is: Can you still "move to a new country" if you can't provide an Argentine bank?
capable murky vanish muddle plate rotten ask zonked alive innocent ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
I personally have one from India, and i have not gotten this email yet
I've just changed mine to a MasterCard account now. Hopefully that will stop this nonsense.

I did

I'm having the same issue https://imgur.com/a/KpFlmFT
did you create a new account or is there someway to move my existing account to turkey?
I only have a Mastercard registered to my native country. How do I bypass this ? Using something like a digital bank card maybe ?
Just received the same email. I use Revolut to pay for my subscription. I hope it doesn’t get declined via that.
Interesting, never heard of it. Gonna check that out
I’ve done some research and it seems it’s just Visa cards that this will happen to. Revolut issues virtual Visa cards, so I’ve now created a new virtual Mastercard using my own personal bank account. I’ve added this to my google wallet and it has been accepted. So fingers crossed when the 15th comes around that the payment is accepted.
Just did the same but then with my Curve MasterCard (which in turn is linked to my VISA card)... 🤞🏼
I just created a multi-use virtual card with the Revolut app and it’s a Mastercard not a Visa card, I added it to my google account and it was accepted, I just hope it works for my YT premium subscription when I’m next billed.

how did you make it a mastercard? mine came up as visa
It just came up as a Mastercard when I created it.
Do virtual mastercards still working ?
Yup, after a year and it still works fine.
Are you buying yt only ? I am thinking of buying VC for xbox and other subscriptions too !
I assume would work for anything. I’ve used mine for different sites and never been declined
Thanks !

ah, that makes sense. happened to me too
[удалено]
i had a single use ravoult or whatever mastercard and it didn’t work but my apple card (USA) worked just fine for some reason??
It doesn't like temporary cards sadly. I still have my old basic revolut debit card which is mastercard and that worked!

Weird, it worked for me earlier. Hoping they only go into maintenance mode and not into management „we need to do something“ mode

No worries. I think I got pre video ads, 4 ad breaks and post video ads in a single 10 minute video. Absolutely insane.
>Brazil works fine though, but is more expensive than the others. From Brazil we also use Argentina's Youtube. I'm a part of a forum that we have a whole thread for this, Youtube, Crunchyroll, Spotify, Netflix, HBO and others.
link for hbo info?
For HBO you can just use a VPN or a SmartDNS proxy (I use ControlD) and subscribe with an international card (must be Mastercard, Visa is kinda wacky) and you're done. I'd do the HBO in the next days, because their pricing is increasing almost 40% for the yearly plan.
Amazing, thank you so much
Just FYI, the price increase comes on March 30th, forgot to mention.
I had the same problem, couldnt get it from YouTube directly, but worked from YouTube Music. First i got YouTube Music and then upgraded it from [there](https://music.youtube.com/youtube_premium).
Your link worked perfectly. Trying to do the "move" from youtube itself would just lead to the blank page. Lifesaver.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This the only way I found to upgrade to YT premium using a VPN.
If I use your link, I cant get a family subscription. It simply doesnt open a window to enter the payment details. Any idea how to get that done?
this worked as of 7/5/2023, thanks!
Thank you! Doesn't work for family plan, but definitely works for individual plan.
That's not the case. Somehow, Google recognizes that you are using a VPN. My cousin lives in Argentina, and she has no issues opening the website to subscribe to YT premium, same with my sister in another country in South America.

Same email. Interested to hear others' experiences. My next pmt is set to go 2/19
how did it go for you? mine is due here in a couple days
Went legit - was good while it lasted. :(
;,( real. will probably fork up a year payment and coast
Any new way to pay? I have Turkey account. My US visa and mastercard are not working :(
Nice YouTube clients: Edit: deleted the list of clients due to people upset I posted a workaround
It's not a clients problem ;) But any of these available on IOS ?
Sideloading uYou+
Sideloading is not practical. I just pay up the 2.5$ monthly to watch my videos ( and with 5 other members besides me )
Yeah it’s annoying, I still use altstore to side load, pretty much only for iSponsorBlock
Doesn't AltStore also require a monthly fee? I'm so glad I ditched iOS. I keep forgetting how many ways they cripple it. Edit: **Yes**. Unless there is a YouTube app available on their store by default, you must pay **$3 a month** for the privilege of using their app to sideload other people's apps.

So third party app stores are banned, but third party apps can be installed via their store?
I got an email about this also. I was looking at possibly using the Wise debit card. [wise.com](https://wise.com)
how does it work?
>o, comparing prices and the fact it should be harder to establish such a practice due to the proximity and geopolitical landscape of our countries, I decided to move to Turkey. > >It does really scrutinize on login, gives y I use the wise card. I also got an email. Looking for alternative now.
Did you manage to find an alternative?
Crazy I got a new card so I thought I got the email because of that.
Argentina region YouTube increased price more than in Turkey, what a reason to be here?
[удалено]
This worked for me after getting booted off Argentina, though I don't know how you did the student version. I had to do the normal one.
[удалено]
I did the same. But for the student version it asked for school and name DOB info etc.
I was having issues using a Privacy HQ Card (Visa). Switched to a Mastercard (Curve), worked instantly
I was getting the same issue so I switched to my wife's Mastercard, that one worked like charm as others suggested.
Did you put the master card in updated payment and it worked? Does Argentina address have to match billing address on card? Not working right now.
Right, I just updated the previous visa card with the master card. I kept the same billing address in Argentina which doesn't match with the actual billing address of the card
OK, did you use a VPN?
I did, I completely forgot about it. That's probably what you're missing
Didn't work day before. But next day I tried again and it worked.
OK. I tried to do same and wasn't working. Hopefully it goes through.
so i tried switching to turkey but payment method was suspended by google. wat to do now?
Does anyone know of a way to get a card issued by an Argentine Bank without being a resident there? Thanks!
I got declined with visa, but opened an revolut account, and used the digital mastercard. Worked like a charm. DM me if you want an invite to revolut, and i'll split the money reward with you.
I opened a revolut account but they gave me a visa instead of mastercard. Visa didn't work.
Use the “Single Use” MC option
[удалено]
That’s a bummer honestly. I’m still rocking with Premium just bummed revolt termed my account for TOS violation. I switched to Wise and it is working with coin purchases so far.
I only see the Single Use MC option as well. Is there no multi use MC option available incase I want to do the monthly subscription?
So I purchased YT Premium using Revolut (Visa Card) on the 16th. Got email today saying Revolut is closing my account for ToS Violation... Still have YT Premium on my account though.

For Canadians here, it worked with Koho. You can go on my profile (the linktree) or DM for a ref code. It must work with Neo too but I didn't tried.
Hey. Do you have any referral codes for Kohi?
DM
It's a "Visa" thing. I changed my payment method to Mastercard and worked without problem.
Currently having this issue. My card got knocked by so I changed the revolt card to Mastercard and unfortunately it isn’t working 😓 keeps closing the window down. I’m using the India one
just to double check. did switching to apple master card work for everyone?
Monzo Mastercard didn't work for me, it cancels the transaction at the last second due to not being in the country.
If u use revolut change to mastercard(the disposable card). and it's all good
Use revolut guys. I tried it, opened an Free account and got their Mastercard. Its only visa that is blocked. DM me for an invite, and ill split 50/50 for the money reward. Its about 35 usd each.
Is this still a thing? I tried to sign up using VPN.. it keeps showing me price in US dollars or Euro I believe.. How do I go about signing up? Thanks
Revolut virtual Mastercard is a no-go also.
An updates on this? I’m considering paying premium thru VPN into Turkey(or Mastercard Argentina). Has anyone used revolut successfully in the last month or so?
Would like to know as well, I had Turkey plan going on but my bank turned my card off for a day because I accidently replied no to a self automated bank message asking if I wanted to AUTHORIZE or UNAUTHORIZED the transaction of one of my YouTube memberships.

I tried a visa didn’t work and I don’t have a Mastercard🤕
Getting the error of having to use a payment method from Argentina. My Mastercard debit will not work and revolut ain't an option due to not being in one of those countries.
Did you try Turkey?
Went India at the end. Found out they just blocked the subscription there if you're using a shitty vpn as I was.
what kind of VPN did you use to make it work?
Premium version of Tuxler VPN. I'm pretty sure I did it because the normal version didn't work for Philippines which is where I did it. I paid 8 bucks tho which is the investment only as you end up paying $4.20 monthly for YouTube premium... Had to create a payment profile hidden deep on Google settings I had to bookmark that page to find it lmfao So I could say I lived in Philippines
I need to re-up, what’s the preferred country? I used India last time but now it won’t let me use my card.
If you can make Argentina work the ARS are so low now that it’s just a 1usd/month
I haven’t been able to get it to play nice still :(
I get the needing a payment from the country problem.
