I sold my house with my apple devices (as they were being used for home automation). Now I am in a different country. I would like to change my Appleid’s country.
When I click on Country / Region under Personal Information, it tells me
Your country or region can’t be changed right now.
When I read the help linked to it, the only two items that relate to me are
- Subscriptions (which I have deleted)
- Possessing a payment method for the new country (which I do)
And it suggests that I should enter a new payment method.
I tried changing the payment method. The old card had expired anyway.
- I entered card details from the new country
- I entered the relevant address and phone number for the card
- I copied this to the billing address
- I pressed
Update
And it tells me that the card is invalid for the old country…. Catch 22
Is there a way to Change the Country/Region?
I have read the old posts here on this topic. They are either very old and the instructions don’t correspond to the current menu on https://appleid.apple.com/ or they don’t have an answer.
For example, one of them suggests that you cant change it until you add store credit. But Apple’s help says the reveres is true. I have no store credit.
