I have changed my address from NZ to UK, and my credit card but seem unable to change to the UK plan. You are going to bill me in NZD instead of GBP forever, it seems.

What do I need to do to change this?

    A Microsoft 365 home subscription cannot be switched directly from an NZ region/currency subscription to a UK one while the current subscription still exists.

    What to do:

    1. Go to Services & subscriptions and find the current Microsoft 365 subscription.
    2. Turn off recurring billing or cancel the current subscription.
    3. Wait for that NZ subscription to fully expire or be removed.
    4. Update the Microsoft account profile country/region to the UK on the Your info page.
    5. After the old subscription is gone, buy a new Microsoft 365 subscription for the UK using the UK payment method.

    Important details:

    • Changing the billing address does not change the region/currency of an existing active subscription.
    • If Microsoft 365 was purchased for a different region, it cannot be activated for a new region until the existing subscription is expired or canceled.
    • If Change how you pay is available, that only changes the payment method for a subscription with recurring billing; it does not change the subscription’s country/region currency.
    • If the subscription was bought through a third party, it must be managed through that third party.
