    Copying my comment over from fmhy instance -

    If you don’t mind paying ~2$ a month, you can get Family Premium using a VPN (I used India)

    Current working method from HUKD: (Private/Incognito browser is best)

    Create a new Google Account. Enter card details. Enter a fake billing address, any random address generator will do, as long as it’s from the correct region. Then select Try it Free. Navigate to YouTube, press YouTube Premium, and double-check that everything is in the right currency. Enter the same credit card and address information you used for creating the new Google Account. Click Buy 👍

    You can then add your main Google account as a family member.👍

      And then I might eventually get banned for abusing/bypassing regional pricing 🤷‍♂️. It’s a nice workaround but that’s all it is, it’s gonna get worse with yt

      I believe any accounts joining the family need to first have a Google Payments profile in the country the owner of the plan is in before you can join. Or is that not the case anymore?
