Can't change country

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?

Country has been changed to Portugal but it won’t recognise my address and the forces me to choose a state in USA.

I am setting up my profile, and when I am typing in my address to verify my location, I can't change my country. When I started setting up my account I lived in the US, but then moved to Norway, which is where I want to set my address.

Hi Tobias,

 

Your country has been updated to Norway. Thank you.

Hi moderator,   

 

I'm trying to change my country as I have to stay in China for a very long long time. 

However, it seems to be stuck on the United States? Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi Ying,

 

Your country should reflect the one you're physically located in and be able to verify it.

 

Would you like us to update your country to China?

 

Thank you!

I began a profile ages ago when I was living in a different country (USA) - I can't seem to change this to the UK, where I now live.

 

The bot keeps telling me 'you need to be logged in to upwork from the country you want to change to'. Which I am.

 

This is infuriating.

Hi Amy,

 

Your country has been updated to the UK. Feel free to add the rest of the information on your profile.

 

Thank you!

Hello, I'm Gina & new to Upwork...

I'm trying to finish my profile but got to the last section & got stuck.

I'm from the U.S. but currently in the Philippines. I need to change the country in order to verify my phone number but currently, that is not an option.

Can someone help with this?

Hello 

I have the same issue as the original poster of this thread. I was studying in Thailand when I first signed up for this website but never completed my profile nor used this website. Now I am back home in Bangladesh and would like my profile to reflect as such. Please help with this issue. Thank you.
