Apple ID change country

Hello,


I went to the US a while ago, changed address and used an american card on my apple ID. I came back home and I am unable to change countries (option is greyed out) and can’t enter a new visa card

so i’m technically unavailable to download apps or make any purchases

please help!

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Thank you Eric.

you got it right, unexpired canceled subscription and the american card balance is not zero, and i got rid of the card (it was prepaid and i dont need it anymore) and i am unable to add my own.

You need a zero account balance and you need to cancel all your subscriptions. If you have cancelled all subscriptions, but some haven’t expired, contact iTunes Support. You need a credit card issued by a bank in the country the store is in, and you need a billing address in that country. If you have an account balance, either buy something more expensive and pay the balance with a credit card or contact iTunes Support and ask them to zero balance your account.
