Can I change the region of my Azure account?

Hi team,

When I create my Azure account, I choose the region as 'China'. Is there any way to change this after my account has been created?

Regards.

Changing the country or region for an existing account isn't supported. However, you can create a new account in a different country or region and then contact Azure support to transfer your subscription to the new account.

Hi All, Any luck for change here? I have moved from Belgium to France and I cannot change the country. Issue is that phone number is linked to the country and as I no longer have a Belgian number, I cannot proceed with my subscription still using Belgium as it seems to be mandatory and cannot be a number outside of the country selected. Also, I use that Microsoft Account everywhere and I find unfortunate that I would have to create a new specific account just for Azure in order to use the right country. Could you please advise? Thanks. Best regards.
