Hello willy1831965,


After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice for switching countries tp access the various stores:


Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account

If you move to a new country, you can change the country of your existing account on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac or PC. After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section.

Change your country on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  2. At the bottom of the Featured page, tap Sign In.
    If you're already signed in, skip to step 5.
