Can't change country

I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

Hi Thiago, 


I would like to confirm that this is working as designed as freelancers who have selected a US location for their country will need to verify their location. I have updated your country to Argentina as requested. As a gentle reminder, please be sure to fill-in corrrect and honest information about yourselef when filling-in your profile, and account information.

I need to change my location (and payment method) from Japan to Italy but when I click on  "update" I get the following message.

 

Warning: changing address country may result in VAT rate changes and/or invalidation of existing VAT numbers. Are you sure you want to continue?

 

Will this affect payments that are not completed yet or my weekly billing report?  How should I proceed?

 

Hi Lucilla,

 

Upwork charges the country-specific Value Added Tax (VAT) to freelancers and agencies in the European Union (EU), unless you provide a valid VAT number. VAT will be assessed on services provided by us, not on services you provide your clients. To learn more about this, please check out this help article
