Hello there, I have a Google Adsense Account. I am based in India and hence the Address of Payment Dispatch is Indian. Currently I am studying in London, UK for an Year. I now want to change my address to the UK one, but there is no option for Address Change. This is what Google Adsense Had to say - http://adsense.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=change_country In that one point reads: Unfortunately, we aren't able to change your country if you currently reside in China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, or Singapore or need to change to an address in one of those countries. We apologize for the inconvenience. If this applies to you, we’ll be happy to work with you to close your existing account and open a new account using your desired address. Please fill out the form below to continue. It says close your existing account and open a new account. What will happen to the balance amount in my Google Adsense Account? Regards, Hemanth
You don't need to close/reopen your account because this restriction only applies to those currently residing in one of the mentioned countries. As you said, you currently reside in the UK so everything should be fine. Just send them a message about it and they'll most likely sort it out for you.
when you close your account,if the balance is at least $10USD they will send a check.it's either 90 or 120 days after it is closed. read it again.
Thank you all. One last question. I currently reside in UK Now. Moved from India last month. So I need to fill the form in http://adsense.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=change_country and everything would be automatically taken care of right? Just scared if I might loose my balance. Its $1000 now and I did not come accross and point saying "when you close your account,if the balance is at least $10USD they will send a check.it's either 90 or 120 days after it is closed."
