For instance, YouTube Premium charges 12€ in my home country. However, where I’m staying now they would charge less than 3€.

So, if I would like to take advantage of this, I assume I’d need to create a new Google/YT account, which would mean I’d lose all subs, playlists etc that I’ve created?

Or am I missing something here?

    There’s a reddit thread on how to do that with Pokémon go, basically make a new Google account with a Turkish address and add your credit card to that then use the web playstore to download an app with that account to your phone, then sign in with your normal account but now purchases are at the Turkish value

      I don’t know if that loophole works anymore, though. Google now requires a Turkish card to be added to your account in order to process payments from “Turkey”.

      Source: tried to make a Google Play account for Turkey about a year ago to YouTube Premium. I registered at a Turkish address and VPN’d to a Turkish server, but was unable to proceed since Google did not accept my payment information.
