Please note that this article talks about how to change the country of your account in the App Store (iTunes) and transfer all your purchases. If you just need to download a game or program from another country's App Store, then you just need to create an Apple ID of another country.

For example, as suggested in the comments below, Vogue Russia magazine. And now about how to thoroughly change the country of your account in the App Store.How to change your account country in the App Store (iTunes)
Any mobile device, endowed with an operating system, will remain unclaimed if it does not have an application store. Would you buy your iPhone if it could only make calls? I think not. The AppStore contains hundreds of thousands of applications, any of which you can easily install on your device. But there are exceptions related to regional differences in store versions, and because of this, many users, including me, registered their first account in the American AppStore.But Apple does not stand still, the company is developing and at the same time improving its influence in other countries. Translation of AppStore into rubles and low prices for music in the iTunes Store, these are the main arguments that cancel the need for an American account and push us to move to the Russian segment.
But how can you painlessly switch from an American account to a Russian one, keeping all your applications? This is exactly what this article will discuss.
Preparation
Before you start emigrating from an American to a Russian AppStore account, it’s worth touching on three important aspects:
- All money available in the account Necessarily must be spent, you should end up with an account with absolutely zero credit. And this, as a rule, is a problem, since there may be, say, twenty-five cents left in the account, and, therefore, you cannot spend it, since the most cheap app in the AppStore it costs $0.99. I will write how to get out of this situation later, but for now let’s move on to the second point.
- All services that imply a time period, be it iTunes Match or extra bed in iCloud, you will have to either delete or cancel. Unfortunately, you will not be able to continue using these services in the Russian segment of the AppStore; you will have to reactivate them separately. However, do not be upset, Apple technical support can voluntarily reimburse you for part of the money spent.
- You will need to immediately connect your existing account to the updated account. bank card. In the case of Russia, this will not be a problem, since any card from most domestic banks will do, QIWI wallet, or ruble Gift card iTunes Gift Card. This is very logical, because why change the AppStore region if you are not a paying AppStore user.
Go
First, let's consider the case when you have American account AppStore, a desire to move to the Russian segment, and a problem with the balance in the account.Help and click on Support Contact Support, and then iTunes Store.

As a result, you will receive a letter stating that your account has been reset. Take a look at iTunes and check your balance; if there is no money left in your account, then you can move on to the next step - changing your account country.
Now we will consider the case if temporary services such as iTunes Match.
The presence of this subscription slightly complicates the procedure for switching to the Russian segment of the AppStore. First, you should download your entire media library from iTunes Match, this is provided that you do not have backup copy cloud media library on any local media. The following steps are similar to those done when resetting your account.
We launch it on our computer iTunes and open the main country of the iTunes Store. At the very bottom, we find the column Help and click on Support. Next, you will be redirected to the iTunes Support page in your browser, where you will need to select the item at the very bottom Contact Support, and then iTunes Store.
Next, you need to select the item on the left Account Management and click on the circle with the inscription This topic is not listed. In the appeared text area write " ", so that along with deactivation of the service, your account balance will also be reset. Confirm.
You will see a form in which you need to enter your first and last name, please note that the entered data must completely match those in your account. Next, provide an email address where you can be contacted, and mailing address to which your American account was registered directly. In the drop-down menu, select United States, and below, in the text area, write the following " I need to disable iTunes Match subscription", to disable the service, or " I need to remove my store credit and disable iTunes Match and all other subscriptions", so that along with deactivation of the service, your account balance will also be reset.
After all these procedures you will be given unique number to contact the service Apple support, and a notification about your placement in the queue will be sent to your email address. You will have to wait approximately 12 to 24 hours if you apply on a regular day, and up to three days if you submit your application on pre-holiday days.
After some time has passed, you will receive a letter in your mail in which you will be required to confirm the deactivation iTunes service Match, you need to send a message to the address from which you received the notification " I’m sure I need to cancel my subscription and recieve a partial refund. Everything I need from iTunes Match is already downloaded”, in which you acknowledge the suspension of service and also request a refund.
Receiving the next letter notifying you of the suspension iTunes services Match, as well as refunds, can range from three hours to... three weeks. Such a long time interval is due to the fact that technical support does not have the right to write a check for a certain amount, so your request must go through a whole filter of various bureaucratic procedures. In turn, you just have to wait for the treasured letter.
Changing the App Store country
All that remains is to cross the finish line - change the country of your AppStore account. Let me remind you that in order to change the “residence” of your account, you need to disable temporary services, such as iTunes Match, and also reset your account.
