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 Jahanzaib,

 

Your country should reflect the one you're physically located in and be able to verify it.

Would you like us to update your country to the US?

 

Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about the charge you're referring to. I'll check that for you and assist you accordingly.

 

Thank you.

How do you "mistakenly" set a county half a world away?

Did you also "mistakenly" mix up a photo of your favourite actor with one of yourself?

Thanks Joanne, Now I have to enter my address in the registration process, I see that the country is Argentina but the form only allows me to enter an US address/city/state. It does not accept address in Argentina.

Hello, How are you?

While sign-up on the Upwork as a freelancer, I accidentally click the United Kingdom in the country instead of Pakistan which creates a problem for me for further verification i.e., my house, street number, and phone verification. Please tell me and help me that what will I do now? Could you please reset the country for me? Thanks

Hi Faizan,

 

Your country has been updated to Pakistan. Feel free to add the rest of the information on your profile.
