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?

I am having the same issue.
I live in Israel. But, I am a US citizen who files US taxes.
I originally put in Israel as my country, but can't change it for tax information.

re: "I live in Israel. But, I am a US citizen who files US taxes. I originally put in Israel as my country, but can't change it for tax information."
Pamela: it is fine, then.
Your location on your Upwork profile reflects where you live. It does not indicate citizenship. And it is not for tax purposes.
Because you live in Israel, Upwork will have you leave the location as Israel.

(also Can't Change Country) ... I joined Upwork as a client a few years ago, to hire a freelancer. Now I've moved out of the US and I'm a freelancer.
The freelancer profile form won't let me change my country to Chile. And when I try to go to my settings, it just takes me back to the profile form.
Help? (please and thank you)
Feb 23, 2020 02:03:36 PM by Joanne P
Hi Jason,
Your country has been updated to Chile. Thank you!

Hi Jason,
You should be able to click on three dots in right corner of your post (screenshot for the reference) and chose the ''Unsubscribe'' from the drop-down menu.
Thank you!
Feb 25, 2020 08:23:49 AM by Jason J
Thanks for the reply, Bojan. I tried that. But I don't seem to have the unsubscribe option. (see screenshot)
I've also looked back at the post to which I think I replied to see if I could unsubscribe from that. But I didn't see any posts where I had the unsubscribe option. They all had subscribe.
It looks like I'm getting these from numerous threads. (see second screenshot) So maybe there's some post to which many people are replying and I'm getting all those replies? As I said, I looked for it, but couldn't find any post from which I could unsubcribe.

Hi Nina,
I created my personal account while I was still living in the Netherlands and using Upwork with my working account. I now moved back to Portugal, my country of origin, and I'm unable to change this info. I want to use Upwork as a freelancer but can't proceed updating my info since the country is incorrect.
Can you please help me?
Thank you
