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?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You should be able to change your country on the Settings > Contact Info page and under the 'Location' section as shown in this screenshot. If you don't see the option there, could you please share a screenshot of the page so that we take a look?

Can someone please help me change my country to the US? I’m located in the US but I made my account while I was in Germany and now it keeps saying to update my tax info whenever I try to change it back to US. I’ve already updated my tax info but it won’t allow me to change the country on my profile. Thank you so much in advance!
Dec 5, 2021 07:14:40 PM by Pradeep H
Hi Ese,
Thank you for your message. I see that you have indicated as 'I am not a U.S. person' under your W-8BEN section on your Tax information page. Could you please try changing your country again after updating your tax information to 'I am a U.S. person' and fill in all the listed information?
Please note that if you are traveling and are away from your country of residence temporarily, you don’t need to update your location. Please make sure you have an appropriate visa type or permit to work in a country you are situated in and pay taxes accordingly. You may need to consult with a legal advisor about it.
Thank you.
Pradeep
