Joelkoolen — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:32:38 GMT

Dear musiclovers,

I go to China at septebre 12th. I am there till Februari 2013.

Is it possible to enjoy my spotify music there?

Is it possible to have the same options and music as when i'm here in the Netherlands?

I hope you can help me.

So long as you're on a paying account and keep the subscription up, you're free to use Spotify abroad for as long as you like.

The only trouble might be getting a stable connection through. We've had some users face some difficulty getting through to us from that part of the world..

Thank you!

I'm getting a paying account and keep the subscription up, I hope it will work.

Hi Joelkoolen,

I'm in China at the moment (Foshan), I have the Spotify Premium account and works fine. I also have VPN where i can log onto FB etc. Some of the bars/pubs here have Spotify on their computer, and i've played my songs on there. However, i really don't know how they managed to download the program because it's not available here yet. Anyway, have a safe trip next year!

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂

If you subscribe to unlimited (for desktop access) or premium (for desktop and mobile access) before you leave, and continue to pay for your subscription from your home country, you can use Spotify anywhere in the world for an unlimited period.

For 14 days, yes. After the end of this 'holiday period', you'll lose access. If you'd like your Spotify going for longer, you'll need a Spotify subscription.

Hi everybody!

i'm also in china, shangdon province, my account is premium, but i've tons of connection problem from every access point i tried: lan, wireless, 3g, work, hotel, cafes; none of them seem to be decently working. Are you sure that Spotify is completely free here?!?

Chinese government have a filter system to monitor the internet and a lot of sites such as facebook are blocked in China. You might need to find a paid VPN to be able to use some of the services..

You need to subscribe with a payment card issued in a country where spotify is available and, initially, use a VPN to that country to resubscribe.

Yes, I agree that the best way of using Spotify in China is by using a VPN.

However, not all VPNs work in China. Here's a list of VPNs that are not blocked in China:

yes it will work as long as you already have premium however if you run out while you are in china, then you are a bit screwed...im not sure about using vpns as i do have one and i am able to acess the site, but i am unable to purchase the premium membership....

Hello there I know this thread is a little bit older, but I have a question. Is it still possible to get Spotify in China now in 2017 since using a vpn isn't possible anymore. I plan to stay in China for seven months. Any ideas?
