"Section38" immigration app on iOS

[zenplay]

Hello.

 

This is the link for "Section38" immigration app on iOS :

https://apps.apple.com/th/app/section38/id1451853492

 

Unfortunately, I cannot install it on my iOS device, because my iOS device is configured with the french store.

I got the message "This app is not available in your country or region"

I cannot change the configured store from French to Thai, because I already have some paid services with the french store.

 

Is someone have the same problem as me ?

Why this app is restricted to Thailand store, and cannot be available on the others stores ?

 

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

No clue on workarounds for iOS - ther are several for Android - but you could use the PC/web-based app in the meantime, while you sort out the iOS issue.

 

Maybe Google  Apple iOS geo-restircted apps?

try a VPN app to make Apple think you are in your home country or in SEA and see what happens.

You have to register for the Thai App Store. Basically get a new iCloud account. You still keep your French account and sign in to the Thai account to download the app. You can then log out and sign back into your main French account.

That doesn’t work. You set the store up in a specific country from the start, it’s not IP based.

 

Changing your country also cancels all subscriptions you have through the Apple store.

Have tried the vpn trick and it doesn’t work with Apple at least not for me. Have also tried to use my credit card on Apple website but as it’s a UK based one it’s not acceptable, only if it’s based in the USA or a S E Asian country can it be used even on the Thai App Store. Even went to the Apple store in Iconsiam, I could buy my new computer from them in store with my credit card no problem but they would not deliver it to Hua Hin and salesman suggested I buy it online and didn’t believe me when I told I couldn’t because of above until he checked and verified I was right to which he had no solution. I bought locally from Banana instead.

Has anyone got an up-to-date link to download the app on an iPhone. I have tried various links but am being told that the app is not available in my country or region. I cannot find it at all in the App Store.

My App Store is set to Thailand, and I have updated it with my Thai credit card.
