What to Do:


A. Zero-Out your Balance:

You need to zero-out you balance. So, either purchase something that is more money than what is in your Apple Account, or contact Apple Support, asking them to zero it out. Once zeroed out, you will be able to change your location.

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)


and..


B. Repurchase Everything:

Note that once in a new country/region, you cannot view any of you previous purchases; they must be repurchased. This all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Developer/Studio.

Contact Apple Support

You now need to contact Apple Support. They will see what is nonage on, and will run you through the fix. If needed, ask the App Rep if you can perform a screensharing session with them, to show them exactly what it occurring.
