Change the region in app store

Hello Tronina

You can’t reset or manually remove that $0.01 yourself. Apple requires the App Store balance to be exactly zero before you can change the region.

Your options are limited but clear:

• Spend the balance: In practice this is almost impossible with $0.01, because prices don’t go that low.

• Contact Apple Support: Apple can manually clear very small remaining balances like $0.01 so you can change the region. This is the usual and intended solution.

• Add funds to spend it: You could add money and then spend the full balance, but that’s usually more effort than it’s worth.

Apple documents this requirement explicitly: the balance must be zero to change regions (Apple Support → Change your Apple ID country or region).

So the realistic path is Apple Support ( 0800 6645 451 ) → ask them to remove the $0.01 balance. After that, the region change will work immediately.
