Technically you are not supposed to do that. The section below is copied from the USA Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions document but I suspect they are very similar for all versions of this document --> https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html - Last Updated: September 16, 2020

"Our Services are available for your use in your country of residence (“Home Country”). By creating an account for use of the Services in a particular country or territory you are specifying it as your Home Country."


You would either have to keep changing region on your current Apple ID or you would have to create a new Apple ID.

This article describes how to change your country setting and the requirements and results of doing this:

Using two Apple IDs can be very problematic since you cannot use both on the phone at the same time and an Apple ID is highly customized for an individual.

You will have to maintain valid payment methods for both countries.
