01

If you have Spotify Free

Log into your Spotify account in the browser, open Edit profile, find Country or region, select the new country and click Save profile. When traveling, the free account works abroad for a limited time; For permanent use after moving, update the country.

The new option appears in the list only if you are actually in that country. If it's not there, check to see if the account is open and if Spotify detects your current location.

02

If Premium is connected

Open Payment methods in your Spotify account, select Add or Change, enter the payment method issued in the new country and confirm the change. The new settings will take effect from the next charge date.

If Premium is paid with a gift code

For Premium without regular charges, for example after activating a gift code, Spotify suggests waiting until the end of the paid period and switching to Free. After this, you can update the payment method and country according to the rules of the new region.

Do not purchase another country's code in advance: to activate it, the account country must match the country in which the code was purchased.

Account created via Apple or Facebook

If the login is associated with Apple or Facebook, the country in these services may also affect the profile. Spotify recommends updating your region there as well, if necessary.

Do not use a fictitious address or someone else's payment method: the country must correspond to the real location and available payment method.
