    Off topic I know. We’ve done it with Netflix, now YT premium. I wonder is it possible to switch Spotify family premium to, let’s say, India?

    Possible, but Spotify makes it much more difficult, as you also have to have payment from the country you're signing on. There is another annoyance: you get local suggestions for very long time.

    Tidal is same and you can get a Turkish plan.

    FYI:
    Argentina Price is:-
    119 ARS = €1.15 pm for Youtube Premium
    179 ARS = €1.72 pm for Youtube Premium Family

    Did a little more research but ARS still seems to be the best.

    Thanks for this.
    Worked a treat. I'm all set up with a family account.
    Shame you can't pay for a year in 1 go.

    Is the cheaper Argentinian price over India negated by any additional digital streaming tax that has affected Netflix subscriptions in Argentina last year?

    Once you've set it up can you change the payment method to use Three credit?

    I've read all of the posts here and I just want to be sure I understand this.
    If I set up family first then add accounts to the family and then go premium while using a VPN set to Argentina I get a family account for €1.72.

    If I only start out with 2 amounts in the family, can I add more (limit is 5 I understand) without issue or does the family have to be set in stone before going premium?

    Appears the issue is that it'll want the added members to have Argentina addresses too. Easier to set up the family prior to signing up to premium

    Just to repeat a question can you cancel your Google drive sub and take it out in india as well and save on the €1.99 per month similar to premium?

    Also interested to hear ideas on this. I've read some details of people losing their data as they had different billing and account addresses or something and google blocked their accounts. I currently pay 20e a year for the 100GB drive and wouldn't want to mess/risk that but thinking maybe I can set up a dummy email address and add my good one as a family member (along with the actual family) and go that way. That way I'll still have to pay the 20 a year for drive but have yt premium for cheap and no risk as I haven't touched any billing info on my good account.
    Only downside is losing a family member slot with the dummy address but no biggie.

    Yeah it worked for me this week added another member to my family and it worked without issue. I think you need to make sure they don't have a payment card or sub for say google drive tied to their Gmail address you are adding. But that's just me guessing

    The only issue I had was my wife had set up a free Google family account already herself. She was using it to back up photos of the kids.

    I had to create a new e-mail address for her just for YouTube as it was very awkward to cancel her current family account.

    Have you already set up the subscription or is this beforehand?

    You can try getting them to delete any payment cards they have against their account, so it doesn't see them as tied to their current country. It really wants you to be in the same country to be a Family, but it seems it does that by seeing where the payment card billing address is, and you can't, I believe, add a different country from the one you are in unless your use a VPN.
    It's, er, how the whole hack works.

    So, first thing's first, get them to delete any payment cards on their account and get them to try the invite again.

    Just set up a family premium account using Argentina as for some reason when connected to India via my VPN (Express VPN) it kept wanting to charge me in UAE Dirham!!

    6 family members for 179 Argentinian Peso's works out at €1.75 per month or €0.30 per head.

    Thanks OP!!

    FYI I used the Irish Embassy in Buenos Aires as my billing address :-)

    Just changed to India and now works out at 2.13 a month for Family membership. My VPN didn't have Argentina as an option so just went with India as the cheapest available.

    Got the Deezer deal here a few years ago and I need an option for when my card expires. When my current card expires, Deezer requires my new card to be from the same location as the account.

    Back then Deezer became aware of this VPN account creation, as so many people put in requests to change there account to Irish when they bought the 2 years in advance. They refunded anyone that made the query and closed their Turkish account forcing them to sign up on Irish accounts if they wanted one.

    Turkey on Express vpn is showing euro. India is showing as United Emirates. Argentina however worked perfectly. Got a month free trial and then less than 2 euro per month for family membership. To think that for 2 euro per month I'll have no more pesky ads

    Just so you are aware the 149 ARS plan is the Youtube Music Family plan - doesn't include ad-free Youtube Videos. I've updated the table:-
