receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a non-access stratum (NAS) message indicating that the UE is not permitted to access a first public land mobile network (PLMN) over a satellite communication from a network entity, the NAS message including a geographical indication and a timer indication;
determining, by the UE, a geographical location based on the geographical indication;
storing, by the UE, the geographical location along with a first PLMN identifier (ID) of the first PLMN;
starting, by the UE, a timer with a timer value determined based on the timer indication; and
determining, by the UE, that the UE is not allowed to access the first PLMN via satellite access in a geographical area determined based on the geographical location and a current UE location while the timer is running.
