Spotify Mobile download in an international country

[wstephan]

Hi All,

I have a UK based premium spotify account. I just changed phones to the Samsung Galaxy S3, while I am away in Dubai.

I am trying to install Spotify Mobile, however the system is not letting me as I am not in an "approved" spotify country. Spotify doesnt even show up on the Google Play list of apps. 

Does anyone have a workaround for this, I am not travelling to the UK in the next 2 months and I NEEEED my musicccccc.

Thanks 🙂

Hi. If she creates a premium account using a UK credit card with her geographical location set to the UK, then spotify should work in Saudi unless the government decides to ban Spotify.

In the case of a free account, she would need to log in every 14 days from a country where spotify is available such as the UK. She could probably use a VPN to fool spotify's location checks although I'm not sure if VPNs are legal in Saudi.

Hi! I have a active premium spotify account in the Philippines and traveled here in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Unfortunately spotify isn't approve in this country and I can't find it in Play Store. I have new mobile, Samsung S8+ and I want to install in my new device the spotify.
I hope you could help. Thank you!

You can download the spotify.apk from Spotify here. Remember you need to enable "unknown sources" in android settings to install it. As spotify isn't available in the UAE, you'll need to use a VPN to log in.

I install now VPN but where exactly I can find this "unknown sources"?
Since I'm new to use android again its harx for me to find it.
Thanks! Big help!

Go to settings on the s8 then type "unknown" in the search bar at the top.
