Can't change country

[#1]

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,

Setting up my profile & having issues with changing the location.

I am an American citizen with a permanent address in California though I am temporarily living in the Netherlands. My location says United States & is greyed out, so I cannot change it. The problem is I need to verify a code with an American number but do not have a functional one at this time. How can I update my location to the Netherlands so I can verify with my local phone number here? Or is there a way to keep my location as U.S. and verify with a phone number of a different area code?

Thanks!

You will need help from an Upwork operative to change your country designation to the Netherlands. Someone will probably do this soon.

Hi Stefanie,

Your country has been updated to the Netherlands. Please note that your Country should reflect the one you're physically located in and can verify it. 

Thank you!

Hi, Upwork team.

I am German, living in Munich.

But when I try to create freelancer account here, Upwork does not allow me to set my country to German.

It just freezes at "United States".. I attached the screenshot.

Would you fix this please?

Best.

Hi Bruno,

Hello,

I have been a client on upwork for a while, however, recently tried to make a freelancer account as well. For some reason my country is pre-set to Pakistanh when I live in New Zealand. It wouldn't let me change it. How can I change it to New Zealand?
