How to create an iTunes account in any country in the world

Thanks to the internet, the world has gotten smaller, figuratively speaking, of course. Today we can contact people from anywhere in the world and also buy many products located thousands and thousands of kilometers away, however, not everything is available to buy from anywhere. A good example of this is Apple that, although it operates in dozens of countries, not all applications are available in all of them. In addition, many applications are launched in the US App Store and it takes a lot of time until they reach other countries. If you don't want to wait, or you just want to enjoy those apps that don't come here, you just have to open an iTunes account in the Apple store in that country (United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan or any other). Doing it is very easy, but it has its trick, and today we tell you how to do it.

Open an iTunes account, for example in the United States, requires a credit or debit card issued in that country, or a gift card in US dollars, but this requirement can be skipped and you can get an iTunes account in the US. or, in fact, an iTunes account in any territory, without the need for any kind of payment method. Let's go step by step.

First open the iTunes app on your Mac or PC and then close your current account session by clicking the menu bar → Account → Sign out (in iTunes 12.4)

Now, scroll down to the bottom right of iTunes, you will see the flag of your country, in micros, Spain. Click on it to change store (country) and choose the country in which you want open new iTunes account.

Third, find any free app in the App Store section and hit the button to get it. You will be asked to log in or create a new account. Obviously, you must choose the option to create a new account.

You will see the following welcome screen. Click Continue.

Accept the Terms and Conditions.

Now you must start entering all your data as well as the security questions and answers. For this, you must bear in mind three essential conditions:

• Don't use the same name that you use on your country's iTunes account, just in case.
• You must use a different email account that you have never registered with Apple, I recommend creating a new one just for this.
• You must use a real physical address, to do this, simply search for any address in the country where you are going to open the new iTunes account. In my case, I chose the address of a Tucson mall.

When you get to the section to choose a payment method, you will see that the option "None" appears. This is because you are creating your iTunes account from a free purchase, otherwise it would not appear. Select this option and press Continue.

And there is. From now on, when you want to buy any app that is not available in your country, you can do it in your "second country", for this you will only have to change the iTunes Store or the App Store as you did in step two.

You can also close the current session and, by entering the username and password of the account of your second country, you will be redirected to this second iTunes Store.

If you want to buy paid apps or songs that are exclusive to another country, there are many sites on the internet where you can buy iTunes gift cards from the country in question.
