If you want to change your Apple Account region there are a few requirements that you will need to meet. One of them includes emptying your Apple Account balance. If you have as little as 0.01 cents on your account balance, it will be impossible to change your region.


On these community, there are multiple questions a day about zeroing out the account balance on an Apple Account in order to change region.


Here on the forums, we cannot help you with that. This is a user to user support forums, and Apple is not actively participating on here. You will need to Contact - Official Apple Support. If you contact them, and get into contact with a member of iTunes Store support staff, they will gently zero out your balance for you, so that you can continue on changing your region.


I hope this user tip is useful for those wanting to change their region!
