Netflix Turkey is the best choice for a subscription via VPN

I tried subscribing to Netflix in various countries. Netflix Turkey and Netflix India worked the best. However, for Netflix Turkey, you must use a Turkish gift card for the first subscription payment. These gift cards can be easily purchased online. The detailed procedure is described in my guide ↓ below.

Here are my test results:

Country	Prices (per month)			Is subscription purchase via VPN possible?
	Basic	Standard	Premium
Turkey	$3.75	$5.54	$7.19	✓	Works smoothly via VPN. A VPN and a gift card are needed once for registration. Here’s how ↓
India	$2.39	$5.99	$7.81	✓	Works smoothly via VPN. A VPN is required once for registration. Here’s how ↓
Philippines	$4.27	$6.84	$9.42	✕	National payment method and phone number required.
Brazil	$5.36	$8.03	$11.23	✕	National payment method and phone number required.
Pakistan	$5.42	$9.63	$13.24	✕	National payment method and phone number required.
Ukraine	$5.44	$8.16	$10.89	✕	National payment method required.
Romania	$5.44	$10.34	$13.07	✕	National payment method required.
Poland	$7.39	$10.95	$15.29	✕	National payment method required.

I will test more countries in the future. However, I have already considered the cheapest ones.

Does the VPN always need to be active when I stream via Netflix Turkey or Netflix India?

No, you do not need to keep the VPN active while streaming.

Is account sharing still possible with Netflix Turkey?

Yes, sharing Netflix accounts is still possible in both Turkey and India. However, I cannot guarantee how long this will remain possible without restrictions.

In many other countries (including America), stricter controls have already been implemented to ensure that only paying users have access to the content. These measures include verifying IP addresses and introducing additional fees for sharing accounts with people outside your household.

Guide: How to Get Netflix Cheaper with a VPN

Step 1: Installing the VPN

Go to Provider
(nordvpn.com)

First, you need VPN access. NordVPN is recommended. The basic access costs €12.99 per month. There are other providers, all in the same price range, but NordVPN works best.

Install the access software (available for all devices as an app or browser extension). You don’t need to establish a VPN connection yet. This will be done later in Step 3.

Step 2 (only necessary for Netflix Turkey): Purchase a Netflix gift card.

For Netflix Turkey, you will need a Turkish Netflix gift card. You can easily purchase these in online stores like Eneba (links to follow ↓). After purchase, the gift card will be displayed in the browser and sent to you via email.

Netflix gift cards are billed proportionally, so you don’t necessarily have to subscribe for a whole month. You can also combine multiple gift cards to pay for your Netflix subscription.

Step 3: Set Up Your Netflix Account and Subscribe

1. In the VPN software, connect to a Turkish or Indian VPN.
2. Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Turkish or Indian Netflix website:
   🇹🇷 Türkei: netflix.com/tr-en
   🇮🇳 Indien: netflix.com/in-en.
3. Enter your email address and click “Get Started.”
   
   
4. Create a password for your Netflix account and click “Next” to continue.
5. Choose your desired subscription plan (Basic, Standard, or Premium). A detailed description of the plans can be found on the website. Click “Next” to confirm your selection.
6. In the next step, when selecting the payment method, click on “Gift Code” if you have chosen a Turkish subscription. If you have chosen an Indian subscription, you can use your credit card.
   
   
7. You can specify a backup payment method in the next step. Click “Skip This Step.”
8. Click “Start Membership.”
9. Done! You can now log into your new Netflix account.
10. Stream your favorite series and movies.
11. When your balance is used up, you can either redeem a new gift card or add another payment method to continue your subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is subscribing to Netflix from abroad via VPN legal?

According to Netflix’s terms of service, you are only allowed to access the service in the country where you are located and where you registered your account. Using a VPN to circumvent geographic restrictions violates these terms.

This can theoretically lead to restrictions or bans. However, no cases are known where end users have been prosecuted. This would also be difficult since using a VPN is legal in most countries.

Are there any content availability restrictions if I subscribe to Netflix via VPN?

No, if you subscribe to Netflix via VPN, there are no restrictions on content availability. You only need the VPN for subscribing. After that, you can access the American library without a VPN. Netflix will recognize your actual location and provide you with the appropriate content.

Where is Netflix the cheapest?

Netflix subscription prices are the lowest in Nigeria worldwide. The standard plan costs approximately $3 per month. Egypt follows as the second cheapest country, with the monthly price for the standard plan being around $4.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to subscribe via VPN in these countries. Either a regional payment method or a local phone number is required. I have tested this multiple times.

Which VPN providers work with Netflix?

When trying to access Netflix through various VPN providers, I received different results depending on the VPN service. While NordVPN consistently performed well, others like AdGuard VPN and the Firefox add-on Urban Free VPN Proxy Unblocker failed completely. In these cases, access to Netflix remained blocked. Others, like ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and Surfshark VPN, required multiple attempts to successfully access Netflix.

How much can you save with a Turkish Netflix subscription?

The monthly savings when using a Turkish Netflix subscription compared to a American subscription are significant. Here are the detailed savings:

• Basic Plan: The ad-free basic plan is no longer offered in America.
• Standard Plan: A savings of $9.95 per month results in an annual saving of $119.40.
• Premium Plan: A savings of $15.80 per month results in an annual saving of $189.60.

What happens if the balance on my card is insufficient?

If the balance is not enough to pay for the entire month, the balance will be used as far as possible, and you will then be prompted to add an additional gift card/payment method.

In my gift card list ↑, I have noted how many days each gift card will exactly last.

Can I use multiple gift cards at the same time?

Yes, you can use multiple gift cards one after another to top up your account.

How can I cancel my subscription? Go to your account on the Netflix website, navigate to “Account,” and click on “Cancel Membership.”

Can I change my subscription later? Yes, you can change your subscription at any time. Simply go to “Account” and select “Change Plan.”

Can I change my subscription later?

Yes, you can change your subscription at any time. Simply go to “Account” and select “Change Subscription.”
