Risks of Changing Country in Google Play Store

This risk is related to money, yes money! Digital money is called balance.

If your Google Play account contains quite a lot of balance and you try to change the country on your Google Play account, then you will no longer be able to use that balance in the country you choose later.

But the balance is still kept safe. Later, if you return the Play Store to your old country, you can use the balance again.

But yes, you can only change country once a year. So think carefully.

And one more very important risk. You will lose access to previously purchased Books, Films, TV, Games and Applications products.
