App Store: change of location to download and buy apps

Hello,


I'm from Germany and I'll be spending the next four months in the States. Thus I need some apps from the US App Store.

So, I changed my location in the settings of the store a couple of times now but when it's set on "US", search for an app and then want to download it, it tells me to change my location back to Germany. But if I have it set on Germany, the apps won't even show up because they're US apps.


Can anyone tell me what to do in order to able to download the apps that I need here in the US?


Thanks in advance!

Change your Apple ID country or region - https://support.apple.com/HT201389


You really need to be moving to a country as a permanent resident to be able to use the store in that country. At the very least you will need a valid US payment method such as a credit card billed to you in your name at a US address.
