When I moved countries (also 4 years ago), you could. However, you would lose the list of all applications that you purchased (this also happens with purchased music). However, when you repurchase them, you get the application for free. Of course, it is a bit difficult to guess for each application if you already had it and at the same version. Even after re-purchasing an app that you already bought, it does not always show up in your purchases list. E.g., I bought Pixelmator before I moved. It won't show up in my purchases list. I have to purchase it again (for free) every time I install a Mac. The next time, I will just try to keep a local bank account and will not migrate the account.
