Changing Your Amazon Shopping Country (Mobile App)
Tap the profile icon at the bottom of the Amazon app. If you want to browse and shop Amazon in a different region but aren't actually moving there, you can easily change your country in the Amazon mobile app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad. This is a good option if you want to buy something from another country's version of Amazon (e.g., Amazon UK) or buy something for someone who lives in another country without paying extra shipping fees.
Tap the flag and country code at the top-right. You'll then see your current country and language settings.
Select the country you want to shop in. For example, if you want to shop at Amazon UK, tap United Kingdom. After selecting a country, you can also opt to change your language.
Tap Done to save your changes. Now that you've changed your country, the Amazon app will display the selected country's Amazon store. You may be prompted to sign in again. All prices will be shown in the selected country's official currency. In most cases, the delivery address must match your selected country. Some sellers may ship internationally, but you may only be able to have a product shipped from another country's Amazon store to an address in that country.
Add a new delivery address for the country you're shopping in. By default, you will see "Deliver to (your current country)" at the top of Amazon. This is based on your selected delivery address. If you want an item delivered to the selected country, you'll need to add a different delivery address and switch to it in the app. Tap the profile icon at the bottom. In the "Your Account" section, tap Your Addresses. Tap Add a new address and enter an address in the selected country. Check the box next to "Make this my default address." Tap Add address. You can now shop for items available to be sent to the selected country.
Changing Your Amazon Shopping Country (Amazon Website)
Hover your mouse cursor over the flag at the top-right corner of Amazon.com. Don't click the flag—just hover the mouse over it to pull up the menu. If you want to browse and shop Amazon in a different region, such as Amazon.co.uk when you live in the US, without transferring your entire account to the new location, you can do so here. This is a good option if you want to buy something from another country's version of Amazon (e.g., Amazon India) or buy something for someone who lives in another country without paying extra shipping fees.
Click Change country/region. You'll see this at the bottom of the menu.
Select a new country and click Go to website. This opens the Amazon store for the selected country in a new browser tab. All prices will be shown in the selected country's official currency. Not all items on another country's Amazon store can be sent internationally. If you want to buy something for someone who lives in the country you're changing to, have their address ready.
Change your shipping address to the new country (optional). By default, you will only see items that can be shipped to your current country (based on your default delivery address). If you want to buy something and have it shipped to the selected country, you will need to add a mailing address in that country. Here's how: Click Sign In at the top-right to log in again with your Amazon account. Hover the mouse over your name at the top-right and select Your account. Click Your Addresses. Click Add address and add an address in the country you're shopping in. Check the box next to "Make this my default address" and click Add address. You can now shop for items available to be sent to the selected country.

Changing Your Location for Prime Video
Get a VPN that has a server in the country you need. If you're traveling and want to watch movies or shows available through your Amazon Prime subscription, you may find that some titles available in your home country may not be watchable in foreign countries. To fix this, you'll need to make Amazon think you're watching from an IP address in your home country. There are many VPN services to choose from, and many even have free trials. Some of the most popular and reputable options with servers in many countries are Mullvad, ProtonVPN, SurfShark, and Windscribe. Once you've selected a VPN, create your account and follow the service's instructions for installation and setup. You can then connect to the VPN in the selected country and stream your favorite shows and movies from home. Using a VPN to watch Prime Video in a different country may violate Amazon's terms of service and copyright laws. While you are connected to a VPN using a server in another country, you're effectively changing your location in your web browser and for other apps. This means every website you visit or app you use will think you're in your home country while the VPN is on.
