What should you consider before changing the App Store country or region?

To ensure that users don’t misuse the feature and only access content based on their geographic location, Apple has set strict prerequisites for changing the App Store region. Here’s a quick rundown:

Cancel all active subscriptions: Subscription prices can vary across regions. You need to cancel all subscriptions and wait for their expiration period to end. Spend any remaining Apple ID balance: Before switching regions, you must use up any existing balance in your Apple ID as the currency changes with regions. Opt out of Family Sharing: You must leave the Family Group or turn off Family Sharing. If, for some reason, you are unable to leave Family Sharing, you won’t be able to change your App Store country. Wait for memberships, pre-orders, rentals, and refunds to complete: Due to differences in pricing and currency, you must wait for your ongoing memberships, pre-orders, movie rentals, or Season Passes to end. Moreover, any pending refunds for your App Store purchases should be processed before changing the region. Redownload content you might access in the future: Some of your purchased apps, music, movies, TV shows, or eBooks might not be available in the new region. So, it is essential to download and save the content you might want to access in the future. Have a valid payment method for the new country or region: When you switch regions, you must add a valid payment method associated with your new location. This is because the app prices and billing process might differ across regions.
