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
Youtube Premium via India

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

    Tried multiple VPNs (windscribe, Hola, Pure, Nord and a couple others) and only worked seeing Turkish currency through Urban VPN. Other VPNs I saw British and Canadian. Thanks to the many comments and recommendations on here.

    I feel dirty with all the VPNs I used.

    I used to use Argentina and it stopped working too. Tried Nord, Windscribe and none of them worked on my android phone. Used express VPN with Turkey nd also disabled the youtube app on my phone so it went to the browser instead and bingo, it worked!

    Paid annually but it also looks like you can top up and add an additional year on as well, looks like you can only add 1extra year on but at least I wont have to worry about this nonsense for another 2 years 😉

  • whoopdeedoo on 06/03/2023 - 18:39

    accidentally signed up to the yearly Individual account (instead of the family option) but cannot cancel my individual membership for some reason.
    anyone have any tips to cancel? on the purchases and memberships page

    • Jonc on 10/03/2023 - 16:29

      I did the same and found out my family is not longer able to access although I did not realise the yearly was individual only until now… trying to work out how to fix this…

    • Arkss on 08/04/2023 - 09:57

      Did the same…
      Unfortunately no way to cancel.

      I created a new gmail account, got everyone in the family then signed up again as family.

    In case it helps anyone, I found using https://music.youtube.com/ much easier to do this. Youtube.com/premium was saying offer not available. Had Hola VPN as Surfshark/windscribe weren't working for me. Have it signed out and it shows the TRY currency when you're on the right VPN, then you can go get premium on the 3 dots choose annual/fam/monthly, log in and pay straight away with your card. I didn't need an address, did last time for Argentina.

    • MoBeigi on 21/03/2023 - 20:17

      Careful with this if you also want Youtube premium (you don't get it for free if you buy just Music Premium)! This ended up getting me Music Premium but not Youtube Premium. The Youtube Premium page was stuck and wouldn't let me purchase Youtube Premium. I finally managed to user the Seed4Me app on my Android to use a Turkey VPN and upgrade my Music Premium subscription to a Youtube Premium one for a little bit extra.

      • Pricetaker on 21/03/2023 - 20:25

        Apologies, I should've edited, I wanted this for one sub, but stuffed other and used YouTube app on phone to upgrade also with a vpn, I used express vpn trial

  • citrusreduction on 07/03/2023 - 21:13

    My individual membership just expired but decided to get my friends in my family subscription, none of the Chrome VPNs and iPhone VPNs were working, getting errors saying that the country could not be verified, but even if I got to that stage, I was unable to press the Family Membership button, finally worked on an Android and random Play Store VPN

    • OzRanu on 13/03/2023 - 14:17

      Same for me. I can get it to show TRY prices, and can choose the Individual membership, but the Family Memberships button doesn't work. Tried on multiple computers. I don't have an Android phone to try :( Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks OP. Changed over from Argentina to Turkey. The only free/non-trial VPN with a Turkish connection that I could find on my iPhone was Seed4Me. It was painfully slow but worked in the end.

    • loveyoulooongtime on 13/03/2023 - 12:41

  • BleedingFingers on 11/03/2023 - 10:38

    I tried to do this last night (my Argentina subscription failed to renew)…

    Eventually got Hola to detect the Turkish currency, but it won’t accept my payment.

    Tried to create a new payment profile (there was already a Turkish one there, deleted it and made a new one). Still won’t work, tried both Macquarie and BankWest cards (don’t have any other credit / debits cards).

    Keep getting OR-CCSEH-24, which googling that code says I need to wait 2 days or contact google support (which I obviously don’t wanna do).

    Any suggestions?

      Nevermind. Got it sorted using the Seed4Me app that BenderRodriguez suggested 😁

  • Partake0486 on 12/03/2023 - 12:38

    Anyone sticking with Argentina? I get it if you're signed up with a visa and don't have a choice because they're forcing you away. But I'm signed up with 28 degrees and the difference in price between Argentina and turkey is like 30-50c per month for the family plan.

    • Buyingcrap on 12/03/2023 - 13:33

      I wouldn't bother, finding a working VPN has taken hours for me, not worth it if I hadn't been kicked out of Argentina.

    Ever since I singed up for Turkey via the payment profile thing, the Google Wallet app on my S21 is just fked, won't allow me to add a credit card to pay for Myki balance, fully cleared all payment profiles and even tried with pre added payment methods it's just always failing ffs

    • g0dskitchen on 15/03/2023 - 20:17

      I always get family account for this reason. Use a sub account to sign up, and invite main account as a user. Main account stays in Australia

      • Duplicity on 15/03/2023 - 20:20

        yeah I just spoke to support and it seems google thinks there's been fraudulent activity (well yeah there has been…) so it needs to be escalated, so I guess when I get shit working again I need to re-do this Turkey thing and then hope my shit is gonna work properly after as well :L

        • g0dskitchen on 15/03/2023 - 20:26

    • renarune on 21/03/2023 - 07:27

      I don't know if your problem is related, but I noticed that whenever I resubscribed to YouTube premium, the google wallet app defaulted to the payment profile I used to resubscribe. Then I would forget about that and try to add cards to google wallet app which would not work and would suspend the payment profile so that I would have to resubscribe yet again.

      So for me, the fix was simple, I just had to remember to change the google wallet payment profile back to Australia in the app settings every time after resubscribing.

  • CostanXX on 15/03/2023 - 19:12

    Just to share, I was on the YouTube India plan when my card expired, tried to switch to my Citi debit card. Could not work. Tried to sign up to YouTube Turkey as well with several vpns, wasted 2 hours, it kept defaulting me to the Australia youtube prices. Was using PIA vpn.

    1 week later, I turned on PIA vpn and tried to subscribe to YouTube Turkey with my Citi debit card and it worked.

    If you’re having difficulty, give it a couple of days and see if it works later. I’ve also given up on YouTube India

  • mxlegend99 on 10/04/2023 - 22:20

    So I had an India family plan that was refusing to renew. Nothing I did would work. I found this and for whatever reason my Getflix VPN would link to Turkey but it kept showing pricing for Egypt. After a bit i decided to do a currency conversion on the Egypt price and saw it was actually a bit cheaper, and decided I would try using that.

    So I signed up for 89.99 EGP and was charge $4.40AUD for a month of YouTube family premium. I'm not sure if there's any disadvantages to having used Egypt. But it seems all good so far. I just used my actual street address and put in a random Egyptian state and post code which worked. Hopefully it auto renews just fine. If not in a month I will try a different VPN for Turkey.

    But if this keeps renewing it's actually a bit cheaper seemingly. Which is why I am thinking there must be some catch to using Egypt? Or else it would have been the recommended country ahead of Turkey after India?

    In the end, I took the international transaction fee hit and tried out another credit card, and it worked.

  • aarick on 30/04/2023 - 15:38

    When trying to subscribe to turkey, does it auto select turkey as the payment address? I can't seem to change my payment address and wondering if that is causing it to decline payment?
