The article Change your Apple Account country or region - Apple Support describes how to change your Apple ID country or region, and the requirements and results of doing this.


Click on this link to learn how you cancel a subscription from Apple. --> Cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support


If you have already cancelled a subscription then in most countries canceled subscriptions will continue to run until the expiration date. To have one end before that date you need to contact Apple and explain you need it to end immediately. Note that “In Germany, Israel, South Africa, and Turkey, you can cancel a subscription made through the iTunes Store or the App Store with immediate effect." - About canceling subscriptions in Germany, Israel, South Africa, or Türkiye - Apple Support


To make a request of Apple click here --> https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63006&category_id=SC0060&symptom_id=23208 and try to get a live representative,

or,

https://getsupport.apple.com/solutions Enter “Cancel subscription” in the search feature, enter, then on the next page scroll down to the chat or phone call option.

or:

Use this link to contact Apple for support and service --> Contact Apple Support - Apple Support Scroll down to the bottom to find a telephone number. If your country is not listed then you will have to see if there is a chat option using one of the methods above. If no support options are available you may have to create a new account for your new country (avoid this if at all possible) or just wait for the subscription to end naturally.


Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


  1. To resolve this, go to Settings, [your name], select Subscriptions and confirm that your subscription is canceled.
  2. If your account balance is greater than zero, then purchase something from the App Store at a cost greater than your balance. This is the quickest option.
  3. If you are unable to spend the remaining balance, then contact Apple Support to request a reset of your account balance to zero.
  4. If you need to change your region, then click ▶︎ Change Region for step-by-step instructions.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉

You make a choice. Either you cancel your subscriptions and await their termination and then change your region or you accept that you cannot change region because of lingering subscriptions.

Oh really? Thank you so much. I had never considered I could cancel my subscription. How can I thank you enough? You are truly a brilliant person.
