Quick answer

Spotify Free users can edit country or region from the account profile when physically in the new location. Premium users normally need a payment method issued in the new country, and partner or shared plans can require extra steps before the setting changes.

Change country on Spotify Free

Sign in to the account page, edit the profile and choose the country or region shown for your current location. The option may not appear until Spotify detects that you are there.

A VPN can create a mismatch and is not a reliable way to establish a legitimate account country.

Change country on Premium

Premium users generally update to a payment method issued in the new country. The country change can take effect from the next billing date.

Available plans, catalogue details, prices and taxes may differ after the move.

Family, Duo and partner subscriptions

A Family or Duo member must meet the shared-plan address rules, so an international move may make the current membership ineligible.

If a phone or internet provider bills the subscription, contact that partner about moving country or ending the bundled plan.

Travelling is different from moving

Premium listeners can generally use their account while travelling without changing the registered country. Spotify Free has time limits for use abroad under current support rules.

Change the country only when the account’s home market genuinely changes, not for a short trip.

Common questions

Why can’t I select another country?

Spotify may require you to be in the new country, or Premium may require a local payment method.

Do I need to change country for a holiday?

Premium users generally do not; Free use abroad has separate limits.

Will prices change after I move?

They can. Prices, taxes, plans and benefits vary by market.
