cross country limitations for digital services are shameful the hardest thing you have to deal with when you move to another country. Even knowing some Googlers working in that area, it took me 6 months in order to migrate my google account to another country. I don't remember the details that clearly but some features were not working well with a 'foreign' google account. It has been 2 years and I am still trying to close my original paypal account and get back the money that is on it. Dealing with Paypal support in particular has proven kafkaesque. The original account wants a recent proof of residence in my origin country, which is of course not possible. After multiple calls with support, the solution they provided was for me to create a new account in my country and ask them to transfer my old account to that one. I did so but the customer service for that other country claims that they can't access my original account and that I need to call their colleagues in my origin country.
