Hi, my apple ID was connected to my debit card from my country, Myanmar but I am now no more there. I want to remove my old card and add a new credit card from USA to my account. But I cannot do that now. Can you help?

My current subscription is going to be expired on 4th September. Should I add new payment method now or later? And when I tried to add a new payment method, i noticed i cannot change my billing address. So I can't add any new credit card to my account. I am afraid that my current card from Myanmar might run out of money soon and I want to change to my new credit card from USA.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 16
