iTunes Store Country Switch Issue

I'm from Costa Rica, and I have an Apple Music subscription (family) there, but I'm at the USA right now for a month, I had a billing problem with my Costa Rican card and the subscription couldn't be renewed.

Now I changed the region to USA because I needed to download an app that is only available here, and my Apple Music subscription disappeared!, I have no problem with staying with this country store, but if I start a new subscription in this region with my USA payment method, all my libraries will appear again? or do I have to be back in Costa Rica tu subscribe again and retrieve all my info?

Thanx

When you return to Costa Rica and therefore change the country and billing details on the account, your Apple Music library is unlikely to re-appear, you will have to manually download the content.

You have to live in a country to use its store

I just wanted to pay my subscription with my US card... 😡😡😡

Are you sure there’s nothing I can do?

If I pay my subscription right now with my US card will I be able to change country once I get to Costa Rica? And not loose my library again? What about my family? Do they loose their library additions too? I had a family plan... 😡
