My Question or Issue
Hey there, I've just recently moved to Cyprus and have been using Spotify very often abroad as I move frequently (being a digital nomad). Last time was in 2018 when moving every two/three months to a different location - changing the country code then worked fine. Now, although I changed the country to Cyprus it keeps telling me I'm not in the country and somehow tries to show me everything in Spanish... Cannot log in for that matter.
Have the same issue now with my Samsung Galaxy 9 (Android), too. This at least worked fine until a couple of days ago.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Eileen

Hi aboques,
Thanks for your reply. Spotify keeps telling me that I'm not in the country I pretend to be in - that's the problem. I get a 408 error. Changing the password didn't work, have done that 3 times already. 😞
Thanks anyway. 🙂
Hi there!
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this. I recommend checking out this Support article for more info. I'd also suggest checking out this Spotify Answer for more help.
This should help clear things up!
Hi there,
Thank you for your help, I tried the suggested (such as reinstalling etc.) but still no luck. I have now chosen Spain as my country and it works again. I'm still not in Spain but I hope Spotify will never find out. 😄
Regards,
Eileen
