Changing your region on PS4 is not allowed because it impacts digital content accessibility and game licenses. Different regions have different content available, and games are region-locked. If you move to a new country, it's better to create a new account for that region to access local content and services. Remember, purchased content and subscriptions are tied to the original account region and may not transfer.
