I am a permanent resident in the Kingdom of Bahrain. I spent a year in the US doing a fellowship program and I changed my payment method on that year to a US visa ( which is no longer in use), I want to add a new payment method ( my local credit card) however it wont let me change region on my credit card billing address. I tried cancelling all subscriptions however it still won’s let me add the details of my local credit card - it is still locked the US

You must cancel all subscriptions and wait for them to completely expire.


You cannot change countries while there are subscriptions still active, pending purchases or you have balance on your account. Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support


If you cannot wait for the subscriptions to expire, you will need to contact Apple Support and have them terminate them immediately so you can change the region for your Apple ID.
