Spotify VPN workaround

I'm trying to create a Spotify premium account with a VPN from Pakistan but I keep getting the error message "Your payment method and country don't match" when using Revolut to pay. Does anyone know a workaround ? Thanks

Be a proper pirate and use Spotify ReVanced.

https://spotifyrevanced.com

Are there any advantages compared to xmanager?

For example, a lot of songs don't show me tge lyrics and just say something along the lines of "couldn't load lyrics" which is annoying. If I didn't want lyrics, I'd be listening to the local copies instead!

Actually, I use it only occasionally to find new music (trying to teach the algorithm what I like and it is not very precise) and I haven't noticed any issues (s23 with a14). I rather have offline flac library to listen through cable or ldac.

Hi friend. Im wondering if Spotube would work for you. It lets you run Spotify with no ads, so you can just use a free account.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I mainly use it on iOS.

Theres a decent web frontend for YT Music called beatbump that should work in the browser. That might hold you over until you can figure something out.

Popular apps like Spotify and Netflix absolutely have a list of known VPN IP addresses. They might not know where you actually are, but they know you're using a VPN.

Not sure if they allow this in Pakistan, but can't you use PayPal to pay for Spotify? This support article says you can, alongside gift cards and mobile payments

Doesn't seem to be available, just credit card or some app that requires a Pakistan phone number.

You can always use apk mod instead of paying, these thing with virtual cards dont always work! I had many people tell me "I did it with vpn and worked" or "I got this from turkey using google play without vpn", I did follow their steps but it didn't work. There was also a guy, who was trying for a month with vpn and virtual card, to get netflix from turkey, every single day, and it worked, but does it worth ?
Generally Its a hit or miss.
edit: apkmody has mod spotify and mobilism.
