Which Google settings decide whether a Gemini subscription can start, and how to check each one in order.
The general question of which signals affect Gemini availability is covered in a separate article on Gemini region restrictions. This page stays with starting a paid subscription and with what Google's help pages confirm.
Gemini web app: Available in more than 70 languages and more than 230 countries and territories; the mobile app may have different availability
Google AI Pro and Ultra plans: They have their own country list, which differs slightly from the Google AI Plus list
Google One and Google Play: Google One availability is based on the country or region you use for Google Play
Payments profile: Tied to one country; the country of an existing profile cannot be changed
Account type: Only personal Google Accounts can sign up for Google AI plans; Google Workspace accounts are not eligible for Google One
Note: the table is based on Google help pages opened on 9 November 2026. Google changes its country lists, so do the final check on the pages themselves.
The Google Payments Center help is direct: you cannot change the country of an existing payments profile, because each profile is tied to one country for tax reasons. To use a different country you must create a new profile: in settings, click Edit next to Country/Region, choose Create new profile, then enter the country, name and address.
One useful detail: creating a new profile does not affect your existing services and subscriptions, which keep being paid from the old profile. So if you are starting a Gemini subscription again, make sure the new profile with the right country is the one selected at checkout.
Google One help says that availability of Google One is based on the country or region you use for Google Play. If your country is listed but you cannot sign up, Google suggests checking how to change your Google Play country.
The conditions for a change, as stated in the Google Play help:
no more than once every 90 days;
you must be in the new country and have a payment method from it;
members of a Google Family group cannot change country until they leave the group;
the profile can take up to 48 hours to update.
The help also warns about what you may lose: your Google Play balance stays tied to the old country, Google Play Points are lost, and subscriptions stay on the old payments profile until you cancel them; to continue in the new country you cancel and subscribe again.
The help for Google AI plans adds three points.
The plans are for personal Google Accounts. Google Workspace accounts are not eligible for Google One.
In most countries the minimum age is 13 (or the applicable age in your country); in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK users must be 18 or older. Some features have separate age limits.
If you are travelling, you can only upgrade to or use Ultra in a country where Ultra is supported: the help states plainly that until you return to such a country you cannot upgrade or use it.
for the Gemini web app it is the "Where you can use the Gemini web app" page; Google AI Pro and Ultra have their own page with their own list. Check the list of the plan you are buying.
it must be on the Google One list. If it needs changing, keep the limits from the previous section in mind (90 days, physical presence, Family group).
open the profile settings in Google Payments Center. If the country is wrong, create a new profile and select it at checkout.
you need a personal account, not a work or school one.
start and use the plan from a country where it is supported. To see which country your connection shows, use the guide to checking an IP's country.
after the changes, close the payment page, reopen it and confirm that the plan and price for the right country are shown.
Google's help pages do not describe how your location is determined, so no one can promise what role the network address plays. Its practical meaning is different: the address should match the country where you actually are and where the plan is supported, and stay the same between sessions. If your network changes often (travel, office, mobile data), it is easier to control that separately.
For such cases Proxy302 offers a static ISP IP for a Gemini subscription: one IP for one subscription account, fixed for the lease term, 30 days per order, 8 PTC, in the United States, the United Kingdom, France or Japan (1 PTC equals US$1). Details are on the page about Gemini and a static IP, setup is covered in the Gemini connection guide, and the Claude, GPT/Grok and Gemini tiers are compared in the guide to choosing an ISP. Countries for different services are side by side in the supported countries overview.
If you need a stable address for a Gemini subscription, Proxy302 offers a static ISP IP: one IP per subscription account, fixed for the lease term, 30 days per order, 8 PTC, in the US, UK, France or Japan.
1 PTC equals US$1.
Open the product page that fits (static ISP, rotating residential or the ISP for AI subscriptions) and pick the region, traffic or lease term, and quantity. For per-IP products also choose HTTP or SOCKS5.
After the proxy is generated, open My assets and copy HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD.
Open https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy and check that the country and org fields (ASN and organization) are what you expected.
Then compare network type and native or broadcast on the IP purity check page. Two tools disagreeing is normal; go by your actual use.
Rotating residential starts at US$1.50 per GB on the Budget line and US$5 per GB on the Premium line; larger packages are cheaper per GB, and purchased traffic has no expiry. A static ISP IP is US$0.50 for one day or US$7.99 for 30 days, the same in every country, fixed for the lease. A datacenter IP is US$0.25 for one day or US$3.99 for 30 days. Stock changes daily, so go by the order page. The smallest purchase is 1 GB of traffic or one IP for one day. Changing IP does not lift a restriction or raise a limit; what happens to an account is up to the platform.
| Item | Price | Protocols | Locations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotating residential | From US$1.50 per GB (Budget line); US$5 per GB (Premium line); lower per GB in larger packages | HTTP, SOCKS5 | 195+ countries and regions; state and major city on lines that support it (small towns and some connections exit at country level; no city level in Russia and Singapore) |
| Static ISP, per IP | US$0.50 for 1 day, US$7.99 for 30 days, the same in every country | HTTP or SOCKS5, chosen per IP | 30 countries on the order form; stock changes daily |
| ISP for AI subscriptions | Per 30 days: Claude 15 PTC, GPT / Grok 10 PTC, Gemini 8 PTC | HTTP or SOCKS5 | Claude: US, UK, DE, JP. GPT / Grok: US, UK, FR, JP, KR. Gemini: US, UK, FR, JP |
| Datacenter, per IP | US$0.25 for 1 day, US$3.99 for 30 days | HTTP or SOCKS5, chosen per IP | 8 countries |
Prices are in PTC, paid from the wallet; 1 PTC = US$1. There is no free trial: the smallest purchase is 1 GB of rotating residential traffic or one IP for one day. Checked on 9 November 2026.
No, the country of an existing profile cannot be changed. You need to create a new payments profile with the right country. Subscriptions already set up stay on the old profile and keep being paid from it.
No more than once every 90 days. You also need to be in the new country and have a payment method from it. Members of a Google Family group cannot change until they leave the group.
It is not eligible for Google One, and Google AI plans are only for personal Google Accounts. Use a personal account for the subscription.
The balance stays tied to the old country and cannot be spent in the new one, and Google Play Points are lost. Subscriptions stay on the old payments profile until you cancel them; to continue in the new country you subscribe again.
No. Google has a separate list for Google AI Pro and Ultra, and it differs slightly from the Google AI Plus list. Check the list of the plan you intend to buy.
Whether Gemini works depends on the separate web app and API region lists, the account region, the payments profile country, the account type and age, and the network address a request leaves from. Who decides each one, and an order for checking them.
