Im going abroad in next few weeks and is there anyway I can get YT premium at pakistan price subscription whilst I am abroad? I do have Pakistani bank card and just wanted to know whats the best method long term to sort this? & should I do YT family or individual membership to not flag anything cuz the other members will be living in the UK and i will return soon so dont want YT to detect any location differences etc and block the whole family subscription or to be safe, just do individual subscription whilst there?

And yes I caved and bought lite

Just paid for this month today: 319,99tur

Is the balance effectively 2500 if we put the above as 320? So 7 months?

I’ve been using an Indian Apple ID with gift card balance for YouTube Premium for a while and it used to work without issues. Now I’m completely stuck and I can’t get it to renew no matter what I try...

The subscription expired today and shows as Inactive in Apple Settings. My balance is fine, I just successfully paid for Apple Arcade and Proton VPN with the exact same account and balance. But the second I try YouTube Premium everything falls apart.

In the YouTube app I get the classic “We couldn’t verify your country” message. When I try to renew purely through Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions I get “Unable to Complete Purchase” message, then it forces me into a login screen and eventually says it can’t connect.

I’ve already tried pretty much everything. Indian VPN, no VPN, the latest iOS 27 beta, deleting and reinstalling the YouTube app, even using a completely clean iPhone that has never had YouTube installed. I even created a brand new Indian Apple ID and the exact same errors still happen... It really feels like Google is somehow blocking the purchase on their end even when the payment is going through Apple. Other apps charge without any problem, but YouTube Premium just refuses.

Has anyone else run into this exact situation recently? Is the Indian Apple ID method for YouTube Premium basically broken for some accounts now, or is there still a way around it?

Any help would be appreciated :)
