Moving Overseas - Japan

[allwaswell3]

In light of Spotify's recent move into Japan (and my upcoming long-term stay in Japan), could someone please flesh out to me exactly how my services will change as a Premium user?

Do Premium users have unlimited access to Spotify while abroad? Is that unlimited access limited to a 14-day period, or is that knowledge obsolete now? Do I need to change my billing address to a Japanese address both to keep my account in good standing and to gain access to music available only in Japan? In doing so, will that affect my ability to access music available in the United States?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to access music in the United States and music available only in Japan, but I'm not sure if that would be feasible.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hey @allwaswell3!

Thanks for coming to the Community for help.

As a Premium user, you can use Spotify at any time, any place, with an unrestricted internet connection. Also, you can use your offline features if needed. 

Keep in mind that availability of music differs between countries. So if you keep your billing address on the United States, you'd only have that catalogue available.

You don't need to change your billing address, but if you want to do it, you'd need to have a Japanese payment method.

Let us know if you have other doubts.

there's no radio option here, so no random music that you'll like unless subscribed to a really good playlist.
