change method of payment (due to emigration)

2 years ago I moved from Holland to Italy. I changed my credit card addres to Italy as well.

Only recently iTunes did not accept my credit card information anymore, since the country that was linked to my apple-id (holland) is no longer linked to my credit card.

Therefore I cannot even update free apps or apps that I already paid for.

I changed my address via "https://appleid.apple.com" to Italy.

in 'adjust payment options' (or whtever it's called in English) it only accepts Holland as country, not Italy.

I know I can make another apple-id, but then I lose the apps I bought via the dutch id - right?

Thank you very much!
