I attempted to do this last month with UK Google pay and UK card and it didn't work..
Yes, several times. US Google Pay and US based credit cards (one Barclays MasterCard, one Chase Visa, another Bank of America MasterCard). But I also ran into a couple of situations where "foreign cards don't work", period, regardless of swipe / insert / tap.
And I think it's a matter of pure luck that this time in India I did not run into the random instances of my credit card company deciding to decline charges in India "for my protection", which has happened randomly in the past.
