Q: Change country

I used to have US as the store country

 

I moved to Saudi Arabia for some time, and got my credit card from there

 

Now, I try to change back my store to US but it does not work.

 

I have a virtual credit card for online, and the system does not accept it.

 

Is there a way to change the country without the credit card?????

 

I do not really trust to add my physical card online.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2

    Are you currently in the US ? If not you can't use the US store. If you are in the US you will need to enter valid payment details to change your country to the US to prove that you have a billing address in the country - the card will need to be registered to the same name and address as you are trying to put on the account, and have been issued by a US bank.

    I am currently outside the US, but all I need it to update the Apps I already have on my iPhone

     

    I do not have a US issued credit card. I have a virtual one issued from Saudi.

     

    Any suggestions?

    A card (virtual or proper card) issued by a Saudi bank won't work with the US store, it will only potentially work with the Saudi store.

     

    Are the apps available in the Saudi store ? If they are try deleting them and downloading them from it
