FAQ

# Will this help me change my App Store region?

[Home](https://zerobalance.pro/en/) [FAQ](https://zerobalance.pro/en/faq/)

Short answer

Yes, if it's the Apple ID balance that's blocking the change. Apple makes you spend the balance down to zero before switching country or region. If something else is in the way - an active subscription, an unfinished pre-order, a rental, or a pending refund - you'll need to clear that first.

## In more detail

Apple will not let you change your App Store country or region while there is any balance left on the account - the option stays greyed out until it reads exactly zero, and the balance neither transfers between storefronts nor refunds to your card. That specific block is exactly what Zero Balance is built to clear. It is worth knowing that the balance is not the only thing Apple checks: an active subscription, an unfinished pre-order, an active film or TV rental, a Family Sharing setup, or a pending refund can each hold the change back too. Clear those first, get the balance to zero, and the region switch opens up.
