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.

Hi Techno,
Your country is now updated. I would also like to clarify that if you would like to work as a team you will need to open an agency profile once your freelancer profile is approved.
Freelancer profiles are for individuals who are offering their services to clients, and agencies are for teams. Thank you.

Hi,
I am creating my profile on upwork, and selected a wrong country name during country selection. Can somebody please advice me how to change the country its currently showing as readonly in "Create Profile" Page.
Thanks!!

Your profile shows India, which seems to be where you are, so why do you want to change it?
You also have to scrap your entire overview and start again. You are not allowed to offer a company's services on a freelancer profile, it must be about you personally, your skills, your experience etc.

Hi,
I understand once the profile is approved only then I can change the country, but since my address is of US and I want to change it now, is there any possibility to do it at this moment, so that I can submit the profile for approval.
Thanks!!

Hi Neeraj,
I'll confirm this is not an option at this stage of creating your profile and registering your account.

How does a person not know what country they live in when they create a profile?
Couldn't a person look on what is printed on their money?
Or use Google Maps?

are: "but since my address is of US"
There may be some confusion about what it means to reside in the U.S.
Having "a client base in the U.S." or "my favorite cricket team is in the U.S." is not the same thing as actually living in the U.S.
I eat Thai food frequently, but that doesn't mean I live in Thailand.
