Django validations are executed first, so you can set country field as read only and prevent django model validations, then in your update/create method, validate country and raises your error if is needed. Also you need to create your CountrySerializer

class CountrySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    #country serializer fields goes here

class UserExtendedSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
        country = CountrySerializer(read_only=True)
        class Meta:
            model = UserExtended
            fields = ('country',)

        def check_country(self):
            request = self.context['request']
            data = request.data
            country_data = data.get('country'):
            #Validated your country data
            #valid_country = .....
            if not valid_country:
                 raise serializers.ValidationError("Select a valid country")


        def create(self,validated_data):

            self.check_country()
            super(UserExtended,self).create(self,validated_data)

        def update(self,instance,validated_data):

            self.check_country()
            super(UserExtended,self).update(self,instance,validated_data)
