You will have to contact the official Apple Support about that and ask them to do that.

Or you can spend the remaining balance to buy an app or content from Apple, which costs slightly more than the remaining Apple Account balance, so that your secondary payment method will be used to charge you for the rest of the payment.


In case you haven't already, take a look at this article, to make sure you have completed all steps to be able to change the region successfully:

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


  1. Purchase something from the App Store at a cost greater than your balance. This is the quickest option.
  2. If you are unable to spend the remaining balance, then contact Apple Support to request a reset of your account balance to zero.
  3. If you need to change your region, then click ▶︎ Change Region for step-by-step instructions.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
