Enter a UK credit card in the personal details on your account (google use IP adress and credit card to determine in which region you are located). You will then be able to switch your google accounts to switch your 'country playstore'. However, it is still possible that google (sometimes after several months) send you an information mail saying you are in a different region and that they will change your playstore country in x days (I assume they know beceause of GPS). You are able to insist, reason e.g. travelling a lot between countries. At least in my case I was succesfull and they did not change the playstore region on my second google account.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 22:21:28 +0000Why is alcohol sold over the counter but not meds?
