How to create an Apple ID for another country (secondary ID)
From price to subscribe — do it in this order
Price first, then a secondary Apple ID, billing format, matching network, then the gift card. Follow Apple and the app’s terms.
1.Pick the product and storefront price
Compare the App Store list. Cheaper is not always easier to check out.
2.Create a secondary Apple ID for that country
Keep iCloud on your daily account. Illustrated steps: new ID or migrate after balance is $0.
3.Fill billing with a format-valid address
Copy street, city, and postal code into Apple’s form. Layout helper — not a real home.
4.Check whether this network matches the store
If the exit looks like a datacenter or the wrong country, registration often fails.
5.Sign in on the phone on the same exit
Use the same country node you used to register. Do not mix home Wi-Fi and a random VPN.
6.Buy and redeem a matching gift card
Foreign cards often decline. Redeem the storefront currency onto this Apple ID.
7.Open the official app and subscribe
Pay inside the app on that Apple ID. We do not sell accounts or shared IDs.
Short answer
Create a new Apple ID at appleid.apple.com with Country/Region set to the store you want, keep your daily ID for iCloud, fill a format-valid address via /address/, redeem a matching gift card, then subscribe in the official app. Illustrated walkthrough: /guides/switch-app-store-region/.
AISubDeal does not top up, sell accounts, or take payments. You complete Apple’s checkout yourself.
We do not top up or sell accounts
This is a price-comparison site. We do not recharge anyone’s Apple ID, we do not sell regional accounts, and we do not take money to subscribe for you.
If someone in DMs offers “代充” (proxy top-up) in our name, it is not us. Do not send codes, passwords, or gift-card PINs to strangers.
What we publish: App Store list prices by country, gift-card market pages, and address/phone format tools. Pay and subscribe on Apple’s side.
Use a secondary Apple ID — do not convert your daily account
Changing Country/Region on the Apple ID you already use for iCloud, photos, and paid apps can cancel subscriptions and lock media. Create a new Apple ID for the target storefront instead, and keep your original ID as the device’s primary iCloud account.
One device can sign into iCloud with ID A and into the App Store with ID B (Settings → Media & Purchases). Sign out of Media & Purchases only, not iCloud, when switching storefronts.
Create the Apple ID for the target country
1. On the web, open appleid.apple.com → Create Your Apple ID. Set Country/Region to the storefront you want (example: Philippines, Japan, Canada) before you finish the form.
2. Use a unique email you control. Apple may require phone verification; a number that can receive SMS is enough — it does not have to be issued in that country.
3. Billing address must match the storefront’s format (street, city, postal code). Use /address/ for a format template. That is a layout helper, not a real identity or residency proof.
4. Payment: many storefronts reject foreign cards. The usual official path is an App Store gift card in that country’s currency, redeemed onto the new Apple ID. See /guides/buy-gift-card/ and /gift-cards/.
5. After the ID exists: iPhone Settings → [your name] → Media & Purchases → Sign Out → Sign in with the new ID. Leave iCloud on the original ID.
What this does not guarantee
List price is not checkout price. Gift-card face value, seller markup, FX, and tax can erase the gap vs US.
Apple and the app maker can refuse a purchase, lock the ID, or change regional pricing. A matching IP is sometimes requested at buy time; we do not tell you that you must use a VPN, and we do not promise a cheaper successful charge.
