how to update my Region so that credit card can work

My Apple ID was originally created while I was in the US and using a US Credit Card as payment. I now reside in the British Virgin Islands and is unable to update my payment with the new country.

All of my subscriptions have now expired as i am unable to use my credit card.

Please help.

The article "Change your Apple ID country or region" describes how to change your country setting on everything using your Apple ID, and the requirements and results of doing this --> Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support

Subscriptions will continue until the expiration date. Canceling them just tells them not to renew after that date. To have it end before that date you need to contact Apple and explain you need it to end immediately.


Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.


or:


Contact Apple for support and service --> "See a list of Apple phone numbers around the world." Click here --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


I didn't think earlier you needed that since you said, "All of my subscriptions have now expired." ;-)

Thank you, I did see this, but it requires no active subscription before a Region change can be done.

Is there a way around having to wait until my subscription expires before being able to change my region and update credit card? My only active subscription still has a few more months to go. But it is such an inconvenience not being able to update other subscriptions due to the Region issue.
