Although changing your iTunes or App Store nation is an option, doing so has a number of disadvantages, including losing access to all of your prior purchases.

Different ways to change country in App Store

There are two different ways to change country in App Store and iTunes. First, you can make a fresh start and open up a new account and start using it from scratch.

Secondly, you can change your existing account's country to continue using the same one, even if you won't have your subscriptions and extras. Let's take a look at how to change country in App Store:

Open your iPhone or iPad.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap your name in the screen's header.
3. Click on Purchases & Media.
4. Click View Account.

2. Tap Sign Out after selecting which iCloud data to save on your device.
3. Tap the Account icon in the top-right corner of the App Store, then select Create New Apple ID.

If you wish to access other content or services that are not offered where you are right now, changing your nation or region in the App Store may be helpful. You should be conscious of any potential disadvantages and restrictions, though.

You should always cancel any subscriptions or pre-orders that are only available in your current location and use a payment method and billing address that are valid for the nation or region you are relocating to.
