Change Your Amazon Account Country

If you’re eligible to purchase digital content from another country, you can transfer your qualifying digital purchases to your Amazon account in that country.

Transferring your Amazon account to another country or region transfers your digital content to the new account. It also allows you to purchase content from the Kindle Store in your local currency.

You can transfer your account to the previous country or region anytime as long as you have an active billing address for that country.

Important:

If you create a new Amazon account instead of transferring the existing account, purchases won't be shared between the accounts. You’ll have separate login credentials for each account.
It’s not possible to transfer an Amazon.co.jp or Amazon.cn account to another country or region.

To transfer your account from your existing country to another:

Go to Manage Your Content https://amazon.com/mycontent and select Preferences
Select Change under Country Settings
Select or enter your address, and choose Update
If you're eligible to buy digital content from another country, follow on-screen prompts to understand the implications of transferring your Amazon account
When you’re ready, select the option to transfer your account to complete the process

To revert the transfer, simply repeat the previously mentioned steps

Tips:

To prevent country mismatch errors, ensure that your default address matches your current country of residence
To set your address as default, go to Your Addresses and select Set as Default under your new address
