Part 1. Can You Change Your App Store Location on iPhone?
Yes, Apple allows you to change the app store location, region, and country to a different one, but it has some restrictions and requirements. Meeting these will be much easier for someone who relies on free apps and services and does not use their payment information for app store purchases.
However, if you do that, you must have a payment method for that country and a billing address. The other requirements include leaving family sharing group, canceling previous subscriptions, losing app store credits, and completing active transactions. As you meet all these requirements, you will be good to go.
