Changing the Country Associated with an Adobe Account

TL;DR: It seems like Adobe has not created a viable solution to change the country associated with one of their accounts. So, I'm affraid I will have to refrain from using their products until such a solution has been created. 

Yesterday I spent 1.5 hours speaking with Adobe's customer and technical support teams trying to change the country associated with my account from Canada to Germany so that I can continue to pay for my subscriptions with my German credit card.

Neither Rashim from the customer support team, nor Madhup from the technical support team, nor Gopal from the customer support team could help me.
 
Rashim informed me that this article on the Adobe website is inaccurate: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/change-country-associated-with-adobe-id.html
 
He cancelled all of my active subscriptions so that the country associated with my account could be changed. This did not work, so I was told to create new eamil account just so that I could create  a new Adobe account with Germany as the associated country. Additionaly he reassured me that the technical support team would transfer my cloud data to the new account.

Unfortunately Madnup, from the technical support team, was not able to do this. He told me I needed to have an active suscription on both my old account (with Canada as the associated country) and new account (with Germany as the associated country) for him to be able to transfer the data. I explained to him that the purpose for transitioning to an account with Germany as the associated coutry was to be able to renew my subsccription and that I couldn't do this with for the account with Canada as the associated country. He wasn't able to resolve this and transferred me back to Gopal from the customer support team.
 
Instead of helping me, Gopal left the chat. 
 
Now, I'm left frustrated, without a solution to continue using Adobe products. It seems like Adobe has not created a viable solution to change the country associated with one of their accounts. So, I'm affraid I will have to refrain from using their products until such a solution has been created.

I'm having the same issue, as my Canadian card has expired and I am living in Japan. This is very frustrating as I owe for this month and am recieving notices that it must be paid.. Same issue, I get redirected to billing, try to add a new payment method but it only locks me to Canadian credit cards.. How does this make sense, they want me to pay but I can't switch my card for billing.. So now I am left owing them money, want to pay but can't because they won't allow me to add the current card I have. Frustrating indeed.

Ideally, you need to clear your pending dues for this account and then change the country if you are going to continue using the subscription in Japan.

Do you have access to a Canadian payment method (e.g., a friend or family member’s card)? You can temporarily update your billing info to avoid service interruption while the migration is processed.

The country associated with your adobe id must match the store you purchase from and must match the payment address. if that doesn't work for you, don't bother proceeding. otherwise, change what's necessary:

 

change your country on adobe.com, https://www.adobe.com/international/selector/

 

change country associated with adobe id - https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/change-country-associated-with-adobe-id.html

 

change credit card and/or billing address, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/update-billing-information.html

 

change currency - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1999694

 

change store - http://www.adobe.com/store_selector/storeselector.html

 

change adobe.com website language - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1999693

 

change age - https://helpx.adobe.com/nz/creative-cloud/kb/you-eligible-cc.html

Thanks for the response, @kglad. Unfortunately "change country associated with adobe id" redirects me to a payment page with Canadian dollars as the currency. This cannot be changed.

unless you use a reseller, you can't work around this

 

The country associated with your adobe id must match the store you purchase from and must match the payment address
