Here are two ways you can remove all your Apple ID balance:


Spend it:

If your store credit is less than the cost of a single item on the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store, you can add a payment method such as a credit or debit card to your account [ how to add a card --> https://support.apple.com/HT201266 ]. When you buy an item, you will use the remaining store credit and the rest will be charged to your card. This payment method has to be from your old country.


Have Apple keep it

"If you still can't change your country or region, or you have less store credit than the cost of a single item, contact Apple Support." Apple will remove the balance and keep it.

Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region/media-services Select an option and keep on working your way down the menu until you get to one saying your "topic isn't listed". This will present you with support by chat or telephone call.

Or call Apple Support --> https://support.apple.com/HT201232
