Question: Can't change Apple Store region because of Apple Music Subscription

Hello,

So, I used to live in Dubai, UAE and now I live in Stellenbosch, ZA. I added my Debit Card to my account for the sole purpose of having an Apple Music Subscription. Now, my card is expiring at the end of January 2022 (which is tomorrow at the time of me posting this). So I need to add my new card in order to continue with the subscription. So I tried adding it but my Apple ID is still set to the UAE store, so it says that "Your payment method is not valid in this Store." So then I tried to change my region and it said that I needed cancel my Apple Music Subscription. So I cancelled my subscription and it said that I still have until the 13th of Feb 2022 to use Apple Music. So I went back to change my region and it says the same thing.... "To change stores, you must first cancel your Apple Music subscription."... So I turned my phone off and I turned it on again to see if that would do anything, but it didn't. I'm still getting the same message and I did cancel my Apple Music Subscription...

Answer:

Hello!

That is correct. If you have an active subscription, you will not be able to change the country in iTune or Apple ID.

Change your Apple ID country or region

What to do before changing your country or region

  1. Spend any store credit remaining on your Apple ID. You must also wait for any pending store credit refunds to process before you can change your country or region. Learn what to do if your remaining store credit is less than the cost of a single item.
  2. Cancel any subscriptions, including Apple Music, and wait until the end of the subscription period to change your country or region. You'll also have to wait for any memberships, pre-ordersmovie rentals, or Season Passes to complete.
  3. Have a payment method for your new country or region on hand. For example, German credit cards can be used to buy content only from the German App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books.
  4. Back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iTunes. You might need to temporarily downgrade your iCloud storage until you switch to the new country or region. You won't lose any iCloud data in the process. After you change your account to a new country or region, re-enroll in a new storage plan to continue using iCloud storage.
