Can one take advantage of lower subscription fees when residing abroad? (sopuli.xyz)

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?

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.
