Why is Apple Store Country change option missing on my iPhone?

Hello I got a problem with my Apple Store region as it is not allowing me to change the country and I don’t have that on my screen. I have no subscription or any pre-order. Can someone please explain to me why Thanks

Thank you for the screenshot.


Changing your Country:


If the GUI is not as it Should:

Disable Screen Time:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Turn Off Screen Time(so that it is greyed-out)


Zero Out the Balance:

Purchase something that is more than what is in your account. Or, contact an Apple Rep over-the-phone, requesting assistance, asking that they zero-out the balance, then change your location to where it should be. Note that changing your location, you would lose all previous purchases. So, this is not advisable, if you are just visiting.
