It is possible to change countries in the Google Play Store, an operation that can be interesting.Here's how to proceed.

Some applications remain limited to certain countries today.In a sense, it's quite logical.Indeed, for example, why an application offering rewards on purchases in a store or a country channel should be available in one country at the other end of the world?The same goes for banking applications, for example, which have legitimacy only in countries where said banks exist.

Most often, this is no problem but it may happen that the situation is boring, in cases where you have a real need to access it.How, then, access these applications?Without going through the download and direct installation of the APK file of the application -which we cannot recommend since it is not always possible to trust the file in question -you can always try to changeThe country of Google Play.

The procedure to be carried out is very simple.Here's how to do.

Change the country in Google Play

1. Lancez l’application Google Play Store et tapotez sur l’icône de votre profil en haut à droite de l’écran.
2. Allez dans Paramètres > Généraux > Préférences du compte et de l’appareil puis dans la section “Pays et profils”.
3. Choisissez le pays que vous voulez et suivez les instructions pour ajouter un moyen de paiement.

Web

It is possible to modify the country directly from the web version.

1. Rendez-vous sur pay.google.com.
2. Cliquez sur l’onglet Paramètres puis au niveau de la section Pays/Région, cliquez sur l’icône en forme de crayon.
3. Cliquez sur Créer un profil et suivez les instructions pour ajouter une méthode de paiement à votre profil (la première méthode de paiement doit être du pays pour lequel vous changez).

Some precisions

To avoid abuses, Google only changes countries once a year.Users who carry out this operation are usually followed up on a move abroad.

Note, if you have money on your Google Play account in the first country, this sum will not be postponed to the new country.It will not be erased either, it will simply remain attached to your old country.So you can use it when you come back.If you do not intend to come back, it is better to use it.

Regarding the possible subscription to Google Play Pass, know that the latter will be automatically renewed.If Play Pass is not available in the new country, you can always access the applications already installed but you will not be able to install new ones.
