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?

Hello, I can't seem to change my country of residence from United Kingdom to the Philippines.
Apr 9, 2019 03:41:53 PM by Hiral A
I am not able to complete my profile because my country is fixed at India, even though I am currently living in Milan (Italy). Not able to apply anywhere as I cant move forward.
Please resolve soon!

But you're neither in the UK nor the US and aren't "The Aussie Voice" and don't have a micro studio in New York and never went to Harvard any more than the dozens of other fake profiles using the same trick.

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!! It's that guy again! I wonder if this is some Upwork account seller putting this same description in to get approved to sell the account. I can't believe this is just one REALLY STUPID guy that keeps coming back to the forum and then suspended.

There are at least a dozen of them left - last time I looked there were more, but it looks like they were mostly rejected anyway (Upwork, what is the point of leaving rejected profiles up??)
Plus the original top-rated high earner they all stole the overview from, of course.

Hi I have the same issue - please help!
I'm from the U.K. but temporarily residing in New York. I want to open a Profile with Upwork, and entered my 'home' address as the UK, which is correct. Now in order to verify my account, they want to send a confirmation code to my phone, but the default country code is set to +44 and won't let me put my temporary US number in. This is super annoying as it won't let me go back and change the address/home country anymore, and it will not let me change the +44 country code which will not receive texts while here in the US! Any suggestions?

Hi Bastien,
You should be able to create a freelancer account from the same account by going to your Settings page and clicking on the "Create New Account" at the bottom of this page.
As for updating the country, let me go ahead and look into this and get back to you once I have more information.
