Hello Tisaradesperera!


Please make sure you've done all of the following:


  • Read this Support Article.
  • Spend any balance remaining on your Apple ID, or request it to be zeroed. If you're not sure whether you have a balance, check your Apple Account balance. The iTunes staff can help you zero your balance. Click “here” for iTunes Support.
  • Cancel your subscriptions and wait until the end of the subscription period. 
  • Wait for any memberships, pre-orders, movie rentals, or Season Passes to complete, and wait for any pending store credit refunds to process. You can cancel a pre-order.
  • Make sure that you have a payment method for your new country or region. See what payment methods you can use.
  • Ensure you're not part of a Family Sharing group.


If you still can't change your region, contact Apple Support for help.


I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
