Reset balance

I see you want to empty your account balance. The people on this forum—other users like yourself—cannot do this for you but there are two ways you can try:

#1. If you still have a valid credit or debit card from your original country, purchase an item for slightly more than your balance. The remainder will be billed to your card, leaving you with nothing in your account balance. This is the only solution for you to empty your balance if cannot contact Apple Support; #2 below). This method is also the easiest and you get to use your money yourself instead of just giving it to Apple.

#2. Ask Apple Support to remove and keep the balance. Live support is not available in all countries.

- Click on the special empty-balance request, chat link at the bottom of this support article ➔ Check your Apple Account balance - Apple Support

- General Apple support and service contact ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support If live support options are available they will show near the bottom left. Telephone numbers may only work when calling from the same country. If numbers show as colored links, click on them for more options.

- With an iPhone, iPad, or Vision, you may be able to chat using the Apple Support App if it is available in your country ➔ https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-support/id1130498044

If you can neither add a payment method nor contact Apple, your alternative is to create a new Apple Account when you are in the new country. Avoid doing that if at all possible. It may cause many complications with your current account content.

When changing account regions there’s a full set of guidelines in this support article ➔

There are only 2 possible ways that can be done.

• Add a payment method in your current region and make a purchase where the account balance will be zeroed out and the remainder billed to that card.

or

• Contact Apple directly and they can remove the balance. Support varies by region, so if you do not have direct support available to you, then this is not an option that you could do.
