To change the country on Amazon, the process varies slightly depending on whether you use the Amazon app or the Amazon website: On the Amazon app:
- Open the app and log into your account.
- Go to your profile or menu section.
- Tap on the country flag or go to Settings > Country and Language.
- Select the new country or region you want from the list.
- Confirm to update the country, which also adjusts language and currency settings.
- Remember to update your delivery address for the new country.
On the Amazon website (Desktop):
- Log in to your Amazon account.
- Go to "Account & Lists" then "Your Account."
- Click "Content and Devices" under Digital Content and Devices.
- Go to the "Preferences" tab.
- Under "Country/Region Settings," click "Change."
- Choose your new country, enter address details, and confirm the update.
If you have physically moved to a new country, you may want to transfer your Amazon account to that country, which involves updating your account and digital content to the new region. This allows purchasing digital content in the local currency and maintains access to content specific to that country. If not transferring your account, you can still switch the country to browse and shop from another Amazon store, but your account remains linked to the original country. Make sure to update your delivery address after changing the country to avoid issues with shipping. This provides a comprehensive method to change or transfer your country on Amazon, either via the mobile app or website settings depending on your needs.
