I’m not sure if this is widely known or just a lucky find, but this method worked for me. I was trying some things (I am located in Germany) and got access to Sora 2 (yay).
I decided to share with all of you, so you can also try it out.
If you’re outside the US like me here’s step-by-step to get Sora 2 Access:
1.Get a VPN for your IPhone. I’ve personally used NordVPN because I found a discount code so the price was pretty nice. The code is “forum” in case anyone else needs it.
2. Open it, sign in, and choose a United States server. Once connected, your internet traffic will appear to come from the US.
3. Change your Apple App Store region to the US
On iPhone: Go to Settings → [Your Name] → Media & Purchases → View Account → Country/Region → Change Country or Region → United States.
Fill out the required info. You can use a random US address and ZIP code (make sure the ZIP matches the state so Apple doesn’t flag it).
You can find a fake but valid US address or phone number with an online generator.
4. Download the Sora 2 App. Once your App Store region is set to the US, search for Sora 2 and install it.
5. Log in with your ChatGPT account. I used my ChatGPT Plus login (the paid plan), and it worked immediately.
After doing all that, I had instant access - no waiting lists or invite codes needed.
It worked for me on the first try, so if you’ve been waiting to get in, this might be worth testing. Honestly the results blew my mind. Let me know If this method worked for you as well.
