    Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store.  You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period).  As long as you have them on your computer you will be okay.

     

    Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht6119 - "After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section."

    Great advice!

    You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries

     

    Only partly true. The only content that cannot be redownloaded is content previously bought from the previous country's store that isn't sold in the new country's store.

     

    The Purchases list will no longer be populated with purchases from the previous country's store. So the user will not be alerted to updates. And if the user hears of an update, it will appear that the content must be repurchased from the new store. However, if the user goes through the motions of rebuying the content, in the final steps the store realizes the user previously bought the content and will download it for free. That content should now appear in the Purchases list and the user should be alerted to any further updates.
