Regarding the payment method, you can simply use a British credit card, but don't forget to type in a random Indian address. (Google Maps will help)

Surfshark users, you'll need to use another VPN to buy via Turkey. I opted to quickly use Hola VPN chrome extension via Edge which is free. Bought a year for 299 TRY which was £12.82 via Revolut. Immediately uninstall Hola when you are done! (edited)

Doesn't anyone just use Vanced? Or is that not allowed as a suggestion?

Why do people always assume everyone has an android phone so they can use vanced ?

Nice... Have you done this for Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV etc?

This method only works on Youtube because Google haven't bothered to fix it. You could apprently do it on Spotify a few years ago until they changed their signup process and made sure that you could only use a payment card registered in the country you're trying to sign up from.

It won't matter where you sign up from as far as them "catching on" goes. The amount of people doing this is very likely just a tiny drop in the ocean for Google and the revenue they're making from YouTube otherwise they'd have fixed it already. They'll probably fix it one day for sure, but hopefully it won't be for a while yet.

Yes. It’s not as straightforward as this as you have to have an existing account with an existing payment method already active but it can be sone

They. Know.

Yep. I’ve been laying with Revolut for last couple years but now it won’t accept my card details referring to something about bank of India…
I will report back if I work out a fix

Had the same email but it also says to buy something with the card then it will be activated.
I might be wrong

thanks guys.

Had an indian account running for over a year. Closed my nationwide account in a switch bonus jobbie and could not renew the indian with either revolut or my new halifax card.

Took advice from here and cancelled the indian membership, then loaded up turkey vpn and paid for an annual (13£) turkey account. Sorted! Cheers lads

There's a risk with anything you do online I suppose, but it's unlikely they'll ban you from GMail.

As I said back up the thread, it's inevitable that they'll close the loophole one day but if it was that much of a major concern for them over lost revenue then they'd have closed it already, and probably closed it a long time ago.

Has anyone had issues with paying for this as of late? I just got an email from Youtube saying they couldn't process today's payment for Premium Family... Got the funds, no issue with the card and it has taken it fine for months.

30th Oct 2022
I had to change recently due to revolut issue. Kept same account with same family members but had to end subscription in India and move to Argentina (prices are about to rocket in Argentina though so do some research as to which is cheapest country). (edited)

How to use it. Can u plz do a step by step instruction. Thanks.

The simplest way is doing it via a desktop. Using Chrome, get a free VPN add-on like Hola but don't start it yet.

If you want a subscription for a single person, go to YouTube and then start your VPN. Set it to India and click on "Get Premium".

Google for "Fake Indian Address Generator" and just cut and paste the relevant data into the relevant fields.

Enter your card details. Click "Pay" and you're good to go.

If you're setting up a family plan, make sure that's set up BEFORE you go to YouTube and BEFORE you start your VPN.

When you click "Get Premium" it'll automatically detect your family plan so you can invite family members to share your Premium easily enough. Just follow the same procedure for entering account details and pay. (edited)

I've had this since last year and the only time I ever see any indian music is if I look at the chart listings or specific playlists.

Other than that I don't see any at all, but i'm pretty pro-active with the thumbs up/down buttons and creating my own playlists as well. My "Discover" and "New Release" playlists never recommend anything by indian artists.

Welcome to the website

This deal pops up every now and again but it's always good to re-post it to remind people it's still available. It's about £2 quid a month if you want to go with the family plan as well.

9th Sep 2020
I have just signed up using Hola VPN extension on chrome. Followed the instructions of another member. I used my existing YouTube account. Once you're logged into your account start the VPN. Go into your account settings and click on paid membership. If you ever have had a trial in the past it would prompt you to renew at £11.99/Month. You want to ignore this and scroll down a little. You would see Indian payment plans for Individual, Family and Students. YouTube recognises you being in India.
Select the desired plan which takes you to another page. Gives you four payment plans; you can pay upfront for 1, 3 and 6 months. Then you have the 4th option of monthly recurring subscription. In my case it was individual @ 129 Rupees per month(£1.37). Select the relevant option and it takes you on the payment page. Put in your card details, for address it only asked me for the state in India. I selected Delhi, you can pick whichever one you like from the drop down menu. Hit subscribe/pay and bingo!!
It took me less than 2 minutes to do the whole thing. If you're thinking its bit of a faff don't worry its very easy and straight forward.
Thank you OP for sharing this.

Setting up a YT family account was harder than I thought. Even after creating a UK payment profile on my Indian account, I could not connect any of my UK accounts to the family, VPN or not. I even tried adding an Indian payment profile to my UK account, still wouldn't let me because I wasn't in the same country.

Here is what finally worked for me, with the added bonus of requiring no change whatsoever to the existing UK accounts.

There is a key step (changing country in play store) which requires an android phone. I don't know how to make it work with only an iPhone or a PC. After setup, you can use any type of phone.

- Connect to an Indian VPN (I used NordVPN)
- Go to gmail.com and create a new Indian account, using a random Indian billing address. You need to enter a real phone number as you will receive a code by SMS. I used my UK phone number without issues. Pick a valid postal code here: indiapost.gov.in/vas…spx
- Register for a YT premium membership at youtube.com/pai…ips using a fee-free card if possible (I used my Revolut card). IMPORTANT: DO NOT create a family yet!!!! This is the KEY!!! Do not set up any sort of sharing! (If you did create a family, you can just delete it. Don't mess up again as you can only change family once a year)
- Disconnect from the Indian VPN. You have now officially moved to the UK. Welcome.

Following your relocation for personal reasons, you need a UK payment profile for your Indian account!

- Go to manage your account / payment details and create a new UK-based payment profile. pay.google.com/gp/…ing
Note: this is different than adding a UK card or a UK address. You need to go in the right-most tab that says "Settings" which lists your "payment profile for Google Play". Try to edit your country and you will be prompted to create a new profile for the new country.
- This is the step missing from other guides: you need that UK profile to be set up for the Google Play Store. For this, you need the google play store app(the browser/desktop interface does not allow you to change country for some reason). Go to your account settings and under "country & profile" and you will see your 2 profiles. Select the UK one. Note: You can only change country once a year.

What if you do not see 2 profiles? Make sure: 1. you are in the UK (i.e. not on the VPN) 2. not part of any family (confirm at families.google.com/ and if needed, delete the family.) 3. you did create a UK profile (confirm at pay.google.com/gp/…ing).

- Once your google play profile is set to the UK, you can start sharing. Start your family at families.google.com. Invite any UK account. It will just work. No need for a VPN since this is a British family. Your YT membership is still charged to your Indian payment profile but shared with your British family

Create your family plan under your existing google ID and you'll be the "Manager" of the family. You can then invite up to six people to join your family and share access to all of your apps and services.

It's at that point, and that point only, do you go to YouTube. Start your VPN at that point and then choose "Upgrade to Premium" (or whatever it says)
