You win the prize! After searching all over the Internet for articles and videos claiming to explain how to alter the country Google uses when restricting access to Play, your approach is the only one that worked for my Android phone (Pixel 6A). It is so elegantly simple and quick just to create a secondary Google identity in your new country, which you don't need to use at all once you have downloaded the apps you need. Thanks for this brilliantly simple solution.
That's really great to hear! This was so frustrating to us for so long, and once we figured out how simple the solution really was, we just had to make a video (& blog post) about it so other people didn't have to go through the same thing.
Brilliant. This is straightforward, minimal risk and worked perfectly. After doing a bunch of searching and finding more and more complex 'potential' solutions, this saved the day. Thanks!
This is a hassle. It's ridiculous Google limits countries where you can install an app. Anybody know the reason? I can't even get some apps in the same country I am in, because Google Play is messed up and programmed badly. This whole thing sounds more like a bug. The solution is to install the apk of the desired separately.
Super helpful, thank you! I had changed my main account country recently and needed access to a very important app that's not available there. Fixed in minutes. ❤
Incredible, thank you very much, being in the current country, you create another account in the play store (I had another email in hotmail) and I added it and it worked for me, it asks for a card but you skip it 😗
Thank you! Like you am temporarily in a country for a few months a year and always struggled to get the apps I needed here and all the other 'solutions' I found didn't work.
Hi, I´ve just reset my mobile that I have bought in my previous country of residence, but reset it while I was already in the new country. but still keeps the old country by default and doesn't allow me to change it. Any Idea. I do not want a temporary solution, but a permanent one.
Assuming this is an Android phone, try solution number 2 in our blog post (the section titled "Change Country in Google Play Store Settings"). This is a permanent change. Find it here: www.tripofalifestyle.com/gear-and-tips/change-country-google-play/
Important note for anyone seeing this: I'm almost certain you don't have to go through all the effort to buy a Visa giftcard as a payment method, you can just click "Skip" in the bottom left corner. Works in my country, I'm assuming it should work in any country

So happy to hear that!
I switched to my company's google account on the app store and that worked despite it being in the same country as my private.
Interesting!
Thank you so much!! It worked with just using the different gmail account!!
You're welcome! 👏

The APK option is discussed in our blog post, linked in the video description. It has some drawbacks you can read about there.
@@TripOfALifestyle Google Play now even blocks some apps installed via the apk option, saying it's unsafe and to use Google Play for installation.

I downloaded the app but now I can’t make in app purchases. How can I also make in app purchases?
Did you add a local payment method?
Thanks - That worked.
