How to change your Google Play country

Your Google Play country or region determines what content you find in the Store and in apps. The apps, games and other content in the Store and in apps can vary by country or region.

• You can only change your Google Play country or region annually. After you initially set up or change your Google Play country or region, you must wait 12 months before you can make another change.
• To set up a new country or region, you must be in that location and have a payment method from the new country or region.
• If you're a member of a Google family group, you can't change your Google Play country or region.

• When you change your country or region, your Google Play balance from your old country or region becomes unusable in your new country or region.
• You may lose access to some books, movies, TV shows, games and apps.
• Your current subscriptions will remain active on your old payment profile unless the subscription is cancelled.
• To use the subscription in your new country, with your new payment profile, cancel your existing subscription and subscribe to services or content.

Tips:

• Some subscriptions may not be available in your new country or region.
• Developers may also cancel your subscription if they don't offer that subscription in your new country or region.
