two factor authentification. How to switch it OFF?

For some reason, I cannot turn it off, but, as I travel to different countries, I cannot get an access to my phone number, registered with an Apple ID and need to turn it OFF for god sake!


Can it be done exceptionally? Or get any other possibility to do verification, for example via e-mail address?

But preferably to turn this thing completely OFF!

From the article below updated on 8 Nov 2019. If it has been on longer than 2 weeks, you can't turn it off. 


Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?


If you already use two-factor authentication, you can no longer turn it off. Certain features in the latest versions of iOS and macOS require this extra level of security, which is designed to protect your information. If you recently updated your account, however, you can unenroll for a period of two weeks. Just open your enrollment confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind, this makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features that require a higher level of security.
