This How.com.vn teaches you how to change the country in your Google Play Store. To change your country, you'll need to be in that country and have a payment method that's local to it. However, you can only change this setting once per year and you will lose your Google Play Balance that's currently in your previous country's denomination. Changing your Google Play Store country may result in different apps appearing in the store as well as the loss of some of your current Google Play books, movies, TV shows, games, and apps.
Steps
Open the Google Play Store. You'll find this blue, red, yellow, and green play app icon on your Home screen, in the app drawer, or by searching.
