You might not be able to change your Play Store country if you have a balance in your Google Play account, are part of a Google Play Family Library, or if you've changed your country recently. Google allows country change only once per year. To solve this, ensure your Google Play balance is $0, leave the Family Library, and check the time since your last change. If these conditions are met and you still can't change your country, contacting Google Support might be your next best step.
