What to Do:

You need to zero-out you balance. Note that once you change the location, that all purchases will be lost, and you cannot get them back. So, if you are just visiting, list things sit. If you are there permanently, the proceed with Zeroing-Out the balance. So, either


A. Purchase something that is more money than what is in your Apple Account

or...

B. Contact Apple Support, asking them to zero it out. Once zeroed out, you will be able to change your location.

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there as necessary
  • 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 :)
