How To Change Your Region In Google PlayStore?

To change your region in the Google Play Store, follow these steps:

Desktop Step-by-Step:

  1. Open a browser and go to pay.google.com.
  2. Sign in to your Google account if necessary.
  3. Go to Settings and select Payments profile.
  4. Click the pencil icon next to Country/Region.
  5. Choose "Create a new profile" and follow the on-screen instructions to set up a new payment profile.
  6. The first payment method must match the country or region of the new profile. You can add other payment methods from different countries after setting up the new profile.
  7. Once the payment profile has been set up, the Google Play Store will automatically update to the new country or region.

Android Device Step-by-Step:

  1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
  2. Tap the profile icon at the top right.
  3. Tap Settings and then choose General.
  4. Select Account and device preferences.
  5. Tap Country and profiles. If you are physically in the new country or using a VPN, you will see the option to select a different country.
  6. Select the country where you want to add an account, and follow the on-screen instructions to add a payment method for that country.
  7. Keep in mind that the Google Play Store may take up to 48 hours to update your country or region.

Important Notes:

  • Google allows only one country change per year.
  • You may lose access to some apps, games, books, movies, or TV shows that aren't available in the new country.
  • You cannot transfer your Google Play balance to a new country, and you will need a new payment method from the new country.
  • If you use a VPN, ensure the server location matches the new country to avoid errors.

Please note that Google imposes these restrictions in part to comply with country-specific laws and restrictions. Changing your region may affect your access to some apps and content for legal or licensing reasons.
