Tried it myself and got it working.

The steps

* create a new google account on your mobile phone (this prevents the mobile number verification)
* add a new payment method on Google Pay using a Turkey address. (to be safe, inform your bank/cc provider so that they dont block your card.)
* install BlueStacks 5.0 on PC.
* activate VPN - Turkey location.
* launch Play Store app and sign in using your new Turkish google account.
* install Disney+ app and create a new account.
* pay using Google Pay

update update update:
no vpn required.


Thanks to fishbomb's comment I was able to get this to work without even needing a VPN.

  1. Create new Google account on phone
  2. Delete cache in Google Play Store (not sure if needed)
  3. Select new account in Google Play Store
  4. Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.
  5. Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed.
  6. Open Google Chrome/browser on your phone in an incognito window. Set your window to desktop mode.
  7. Search Disney+ on Google Play store in your browser.
  8. Log in on new account and remote install Disney+ to your phone
  9. Open app on phone and pay in TRY.

            • @superforever: it finally worked using Nord VPN connected to Turkey #63

              • @michael9865: Maybe i should try a nord trial
                Had no luck with windscribe and took a one month Aussie subscription to keep the kids happy

  • Google have shut down the email address I created for this. Said it violated their terms. I guess it wont auto-renew?

  • tried like 4 times and cant get it working, if anyone could help/do it for me il pay you a lil more ;)

  • Got past hurdle one which was the VPN was setting me to a different country. Used a turkey specific VPN which got passed the location issue, but now the payment method isn't going through. Tried 28 degrees and UP.

    Can't buy an app in TRY using the play store either. So not sure what to do now.

      talk to your credit card provider.

      • Chatting to them now… Awkward trying to explain what I'm doing without it sounding dodgy af..

        • I'm in a similar situation
          spoken to the bank
          they said no issues at their end

          tried windscribe and turkey vpn

          so close as it shows 349.90 TRY/ year
          but yet so far as the payment just wont go through

          just checking for

          1. Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.

          I have to add Turkey and a fictional address in Turkey right?

          • @docians:

            I have to add Turkey and a fictional address in Turkey right?

            You have to make sure with Turkey's address and the only one Google pay method.

            In my case, I have to download Turkey disney+ app

            • @superforever: Turkey address 👍🏽
              One Google play method 👍🏽

              Is the Turkey disney app different to the basic disney app?

              • @docians: I only use it to registered and paid, the T&C did in their language but during payment I have to turn off VPN on the Google pay screen

                • @superforever: Sorry mate I am still a bit fuzzy on how you ended up with Turkish disney plus with turkish T &C

                  these are the steps I followed, still unsure where I am going wrong

                  Create new Google account on phone
                  Delete cache in Google Play Store - done this
                  Select new account in Google Play Store
                  Add payment method and select Turkey as Country. (now I am wondering if I have done something wrong here as if I select Turkey as a country I have to fill in things like Province, post code etc)

                  Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed.
                  Open Google Chrome/browser on your phone in an incognito window. Set your window to desktop mode.
                  Search Disney+ on Google Play store in your browser.
                  Log in on new account and remote install Disney+ to your phone
                  Open app on phone and pay in TRY.

                  I do get the option of paying in TRY, but my payment does not seem to go through
                  I have tried the last step with and without VPN, windscribe and the free Turkish VPN, but my payment just does not go through

                  called the bank, they said there is no block at their end

                  Could someone please please tell me where I am going wrong, thanks

                  • @docians: This is the same problem I'm having.
                    Are you able to purchase any apps in YRY in the Google Play store?
                    I get the same error there, which led me to believe it was an issue with the card issuer. I've contacted them, they haven't gotten back to me yet.

                    • @Herbse:

                      Are you able to purchase any apps in YRY in the Google Play store?

                      nope

                      I've contacted them, they haven't gotten back to me yet.

                      I've contacted mine, they claim no issue on their end

                    • @superforever: followed all your steps mate, including the turkish T&C
                      payment still does not go through

                      tried on a different android phone, still no joy

                      • @docians: Been trying on and off for 2 days and finally got it to work!!

                        Created a new Google account on a reset phone (not sure if this is required).

                        installed windscribe

                        opened a incognito window with vpn on and set to turkey.

                        Searched Disney + on browser there is an option to pay via the website.

                        entered payment details (anz debit), vpn still on and it worked!!! :D

                        • @Shanenz: bummer
                          followed your steps and
                          tried anz debit and get a message says payment method does not match country where I am signing up from (with windscribe on)

                          at any stage did you set your debit card country to Turkey? (as with the previous set of instructions)
                          or did you leave it as Australia

                          despite the VPN, disney plus recognises I am not in Turkey as the message says change your payment method to match the country

                          • @docians: Try a spare total reset phone and new Google acct and turkey address payment method.

                            Don't use your current phone

                            • @superforever: ok, will try now :)

                              • -1

                                @docians: sadly didnt work even after resetting my phone

                                on incognito mode, it somehow defaults to disney plus help page
                                cannot get to the subscribe page; even on searching on disney plus login/ subscribe it defaults to the help page

                                on OPs method I cannot seem to remotely download the app from desktop mode; no matter how many times i hit the down load button

                                I'm throwing in the towel and subscribing to disney plus australia for a month
                                atleast Ill get the kids off my back :)

                          • @docians: That sucks. From memory just entered the debit card details as is.

                            I'm in New Zealand though don't know if this matters.

                          • @docians: I had the same "payment method does not match country " issue initially, what I did was simply turned off VPN, then add a Turkish payment profile and it should let you. (VPN on then cannot because your card is issued in AUS). As for the "payment fails" issue, it is because the card issuer treats this as a fraudulent activity so just ring them and explain. That's where I found these neo-digital banks come in handy as you can simply chat with them and explain what you did and they'll allow the transaction through in no time. (I used Up in this case) whereas most of the bigger banks do not provide personalised services like this.

  • Just couldn’t get this working. Don’t have android phone. Tried bluestacks workaround but dint work. Have foxtel device but again did not work. Always payment fails. Had setup wise digital card.

    • feel your pain
      tried on two android phones
      reset one
      tried visa tried mastercard

  • My newly registered turkey google account has been disabled… I'm not sure why…

  • +2

    Finally I made it works after several days on/off trying. Basically I followed fishbomb instructions but as many pointed, I had that common problem which the Google Payment failed.

    Thanks to fishbomb's comment I was able to get this to work without even needing a VPN.

    Create new Google account on phone
    Delete cache in Google Play Store (not sure if needed)
    Select new account in Google Play Store
    Add payment method and select Turkey as Country.
    Uninstall Disney+ if you have it installed ###(IMPORTANT!!! don't skip this step, power cycle phone if necessary)
    Open Google Chrome/browser on your phone in an incognito window. Set your window to desktop mode.
    Search Disney+ on Google Play store in your browser.
    Log in on new account and remote install Disney+ to your phone

    Install free Windscribe VPN. NORDVPN DOESN'T WORK. idk why. It just does not. Tried with many of its servers.
    Connect to Turkey (get Istanbul if u can, but i don't think this matter too much beyond luck)
    Force close Disney+ app and Google Play Services app AND clear cache. (i think this is my biggest point of what i got stuck with before)

    Open Disney+ app on phone and pay in TRY.

    • +1

      I used nord and it worked

    • +1

      Nord worked for me also. Seems like some VPN IPs are blocked which give the Google Play payment error. Disconnect and reconnect to get a different server and it worked for me. Turkey #62 worked for me on Nord

    • Is the bluestacks workaround for if you don't have an android?

    • You legend. After days of trying decided to read into these comments further and tried your suggestion and finally it worked!
      I think my initial issue was clearing the Google Play app cache not the Services app.

      Thanks so much!

  • service is not avaliable in my region… when in Australia. Have anyone experiance this.
    Work fine when is in TR.

  • I am currently in Turkey trying to just sign up for Disney+ simply but won't let through because my credit card is Australian :(

    Any ideas how to get around this?

    • Any ideas how to get around this?

      Gave up last week as I was stuck on the same step
      which VPN are you using?

      I was using windscribe
      someone suggest Nord

      • I’m physically in Turkey so no VPN. :-)

        • I'd try using a friend/ family Turkish credit card

    • Pay in the app using Google pay with an account with a Turkish address for the payment method. Can use Australian cc

  • If you get the $0.99 USD Hulu https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/666365 then you can get $2.99 USD Disney+ add-on per month

  • I finally managed to sign up today after a week or so of trying and getting denied at the payment screen. Couldn't subscribe to the yearly but managed to get the monthly in the end. I will settle for that for an extra AUD$6 per year(if it lasts). This is what worked for me.
    I basically used the BlueStacks method from the OP with NordVPN while connected to a Turkey 'obvascated' server (#64).
    Except I signed up for Disney+ account directly on the Disney+ website (not in the BlueStacks Disney app) while connected to VPN on an incognito browser tab and then exited prior to payment. Then I logged into my new Disney account on Bluestacks Disney+ app, selected the monthly plan and put my payment through the app.
    I think it's important not to be signed into any other Google accounts on the devices you are using at all and as stated above to force stop and clear the cache of Playstore, Play services and Disney+ cache in Bluestacks. Do not disconnect from the VPN at any time when signing up for your new Google Turkey account, when downloading the Disney+ in BlueStacks, while using your Google Turkey account to sign up for the Disney account or anytime you are using Bluestacks.
    You don't need VPN running Disney+ outside of Bluestacks once the process is completed.
    Don't worry if you can't get any videos to play on the Disney+ app in BlueStacks, you don't need it anymore. I have it playing on Chromecast GTV, LG TV, phone app and windows browser.
    I am going to keep this instance of Bluestacks just incase I have to make changes down the track.

  • i followed all the steps, disney plus app showing in TL but i cant pay. i tried to buy premium game with TL and it went through ok.

    • I bought a premium game in TL but Disney payment didn't work. I tried to buy Disney (monthly) again a few days later and it worked

  • I spent a few hours today, trying several different methods described here, with the Turkish Google Play account and Turkish address for credit card. Tried Windscribe & Ivacy Turkish VPN servers. Got to the payment step and it wouldn't go through. I tried a Citibank Visa, Bankwest Mastercard, 2 AMEXs and a ubank visa debit card. No dice. Frustrating but… I'll try the bluestacks method next I guess.

    • I just signed up in the last hour. Had the same issue. Followed this and it worked. Goodluck.

  • Has anyone had any lucky with this recently? I can get all the way through to the payment stage however it doesn't accept any of my credit cards (coles mastercard, amex or revolut). I keep getting error 83. Any ideas? Thanks!

    • It has just worked for me. I followed all the steps as in the initial post but it also would tell me Google Pay is not available as method to pay when I opened the app on the phone. The price was in TYR already.

      I did then what stevarja (further up comment) did:
      Install free Windscribe VPN and connect to Turkey.
      Force close Disney+ app and Google Play Services app AND clear cache. (i think this is my biggest point of what i got stuck with before)
      Open Disney+ app on phone and pay in TRY.
      It went through with my ubank debit card, which I had added already in the earlier steps as per initial description.

      good luck!

      • I think I tried (and failed) so many times that Google Play refuses to accept my Ubank Visa Debit card anymore. It did accept my AMEX but, even after following all the above steps, I still get payment/83 error. I guess if I ain't astute enough to get this to work, I don't deserve it. I'll continue to sail.

    Spent way too long trying so many different methods. I had used the fishbomb method for a friend and worked, but didn't work for me, on the same device… I kept getting caught out by the Google Play purchase not supported in your country issue. But this finally worked for me… I still haven't quite worked out the correct combination that got it going for me but I've listed what I did below including steps you probably don't need. But I think it was Windscribe in step 9-11 that worked. I had tried the same method with Surfshark but didn't work. My failed debit card previously worked after this method, so don't think it was the card.

    1) Create a new Google account on an android device (I fully factory reset it, but don't think this is necessary if your clear cache etc)
    2) Opened Google Play Store, added payment method and set the country to Turkey and added a random Turkey post code.
    3) I added a random Turkey address into my Google profile. (I don't think this was necessary, but can't be bothered redoing whole process to confirm!)
    4) Opened up Incognito Chrome Browser. Searched for Disney Plus app. Logged in with newly created Google account.
    5) Opened Disney+
    6) Signed up with newly created account, got the TRY payment method
    7) Went to complete subscription, then I got the Error (Google Play purchase are not supported in your country)
    8) Deleted the Disney+ app
    9) Used Windscribe VPN and connected to Turkey
    10) Opened up Incognito Chrome Browser. Searched for Disney Plus app. Logged in with newly created Google account.
    11) Turned off Windscribe VPN (if you don't turn it off, it just spins trying to load the Disney+)
    12) Opened Disney+
    13) Chose sign in on Disney+ and completed the subscription.

    Hope this helps someone who had similar experience to me!

    • this worked for me. tried in poco x3 pro, s9+ with 6 different cards all failed

      tried this method in pixel xl with revoult virtual card. worked like charm.

      thanks Mate

      • This showcases that there is no rhyme or reason as to what works and what doesn't. Thankfully for me, the Apple method was simple. The irony for me was I thought I'd join to watch The Old Man, only to find out Disney are 4 weeks behind the US anyway so, I had to go sailing the high seas anyway ;)

    • Thanks for sharing and a version of this still worked for me.

      I got everything up till 7, did not delete the app and then everything onwards worked. Signed up using a new disney account. Totally odd how it works after you turn off the VPN. When I had windscribe on it said, it was blocked due to suspicious IP.

  • I think this method should work to subscribe via Apple

  • Has anyone tried using google gift cards from Turkey to get this going? I've spent hours trying the methods above with no luck

    • Do you have an Apple device? Pretty straight forward method via Apple

      • Tried the android method, failed miserably
        Please direct me to the Apple method, thanks

        • Here
          I just managed to subscribe. Should also work for iCloud membership and Netflix

          • @Pricebeat: Thanks for the info but I preferred the android method as I don’t have to buy gift cards.

            I ended up solving my issue and signing up using the android method. I had to contact google re my payment error and they managed to allow my payment to go through. Working flawlessly since.

            • @Dobby33: How did you contact google?
              How long did it take to resolve the payment error?
              And no questions about Turkey/ Australia?
              Thanks

              • @docians: I followed the link on the error I was getting. It was a 'Learn More' button and I followed the instructions to end up at a chat with google rep. Advised them I had an issue with my payment method. They sorted the issue in 24 hours.

    For Apple users:

    • Create Turkish Apple ID

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/account

    Follow the onscreen steps. In the mobile number section use your Australian mobile number (Very important to use a valid number or risk losing your ID). Choose country as Turkey. Then follow through the rest to create your ID. Login into Apple ID on a browser. Go to this link to enter a Turkish address to your Turkish Apple ID and save.

    • Go to Settings on your iPhone/iPad > Your Name > Media and Purchases > Log out from your current ID and login with your Turkish Apple ID

    • Go to App Store and download Disney Plus app > A pop up may appear to confirm your details > Choose payment method as “None”

    • Buy TL iTunes gift cards from TurGame (50TL/TRY x 7 gift cards) > Choose currency as TL/TRY and pay with international transaction fee free card.

    • Redeem iTunes gift cards by going to App Store > Account (located at right top corner) > Redeem gift cards or code.

    • Open Disney Plus App > Sign Up

      Thanks for the steps. Much appreciated. Did you need a VPN on the Apple device at any stage of the process?

      • +1

        Nope, no VPN needed.

    • Thank you for the steps

      I am assuming at the end I can log in to my previous/ usual apple id, and this will still work?

      thanks

      • Yes, that’s correct.

    • Thank you. Tried tonight. Worked a great.

    • +1

      You legend!
      Can finally join the high-rolling, erm, Disneyers?

      Things to note:
      You can create a new Turkish Apple ID using your existing Australian phone number, even if it's already associated with your main Aus Apple ID.
      If you follow all the steps and the Disney+ app still shows AU pricing, just restart the device to get Turkish price.

      P/s: @PissLUR probably worth adding @Pricebeat post to main OP for Apple users?

      • +1

        yes. edited. thanks.

    • on step#3 now. Ordered the cards from turgame about 45mins ago. How long does it usually take for cards to come through?
      The itunes cards were in TL/TRY but had to be paid in EUR.

      • +1

        I got mine in about an hour
        I paid in USD

      • +1

        Mine took couple of hours. There is a payment method called “ Credit or debit card - PAYTR” at checkout

        • yeah. I used PAYTR, seemed to have the lowest processing fee among other options.
          If this works then might look to switch NFLX to Turk. Tired of paying Australian prices.

          • @maverick1: I recently read that Netflix is starting to use external link for payments instead of Apple subscriptions. If you are looking to switch.

            • @Pricebeat: Can we do a one year subscription for netflix?
              Will be a pain to do it monthly

              • @docians: Don’t think they offer yearly sub. But if you are already subscribed via App store, it shouldn’t be affected by any future changes via Netflix.

            • @Pricebeat: oh no! Savings would have been substantial. Currently paying A$17 for Std Plan vs potential A$5 for Turk Std plan.

    • +1

      This works perfectly fine.. thanks mate :)

    • Thanks for the steps…unfortunately after doing all this it only works properly on the iOS app, and when I try to login on the desktop browser it's stuck at the the "complete subscription" screen..any ideas?

    • Thanks OP.

      Much appreciated!

    • Thank you very much Pricebeat. This guide was excellent and I was successfully able to subscribe to Disney+ using the Apple App Store.

    • Thanks PriceBeat! The instructions worked a treat.
      I'd like to add that in step 3 if you haven't entered a billing address for this Turkish AppleID account then it will ask for one. I used a random Turkish address and phone number generator for the billing address details.

    • Thanks for this. While I'm waiting for the iTunes cards from TurGame, do I have to create a new Disney+ account at the last step? Or can I use the cards to resubscribe to an expired account?

      • +1

        Expired account is fine

    • +2

      I can't upvote your comment anymore (older than 30 days)
      I wanted to say thank you Pricebeat!

      Original comment

      With the help of Turgame, I've re-subscribed with an existing account

    • +1

      Just did this and confirmed it still worked.
      But, one thing I will add, is that I renewed my already expired Disney+ subscription with it.
      When it asked what email I wanted to associate with the new subscription I put in my old email address just to see what happens, it asked for my old password and then let me renew at the turkey rate.
      Then signed into my devices without a vpn and hay presto, works like a charm.
      Yeah says “looks like your travelling” so they obviously knows what’s up, but for $30 I’ll roll the dice.

  • Finally got it to work on Bluestacks. No android phone on hand. Followed the main method step by step, got Disney Plus installed and showing price in TRY. But couldnt proceed with payment and kept showing Google purchase not supported in country. Created new Disney account won’t work. Purchased random app in TRY and payment went through. Downloaded Windscribe and connected via VPN. Clicked through Disney App (using existing AU account) and google pay showed up, disconnected VPN and payment went through.

    • Hiya,
      Sorry if this a stupid question but is the main use of Bluestacks for if you don't have an android?

  • Has anyone’s account been cancelled using this method? I have been logged out and it asks me to resubscribe.

    • Which method? Android or Apple?

      • Android. The payment method has been suspended due to ‘suspicious activity’.

        • That sounds like a bank issue. You needed to let them know its you and enable chargers from Turkey

          • @DoesntEvenMatter: Nah it's a google blocking me for suspicious activity issue. I guess that's what happens when I have too many accounts and cards trying to pay in TRY.

            • @Dobby33: but I thought you had sorted it out with the google rep?

            • @Dobby33: If it's just your payment profile and not the Google account itself that's suspended, you can just close it and create a new one.
