If you move to a different country, you'll want to change your iPhone country settings to make the permanent switch — unlike traveling abroad temporarily.

You can easily change your iPhone's country in the Settings app, where you'll also be asked to change your payment method and billing address.

Before changing your iPhone's country settings, you will want to take measures to make your transition as easy as possible, such as cancelling subscriptions on your iPhone, including cancelling Apple Music. Once you change your country, wait until you've paid your last subscription bills, then resubscribe.

Additionally, you'll want to spend any store credit saved to your iTunes & App Store account, as it won't transfer over with you. You can also go ahead and proactively remove your current credit card, as you'll be prompted to enter new payment information once you select your new country.

You may have difficulty changing your country if you're part of a Family Sharing group. You can find and change your Family Sharing details in your Settings app as well.
