Your Spotify account’s location is linked to where you signed up. When traveling abroad, Free users can enjoy Spotify in a different country or region for up to 14 days. If you plan to stay longer, you might need to change your Spotify account location. Premium users have global access and can listen to Spotify anywhere without adjusting account settings. However, you might consider updating your location if you’re in a region with a lower Spotify subscription price. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps of changing your Spotify location, whether you have a Free or Premium account.

How to Use Free Spotify Abroad without Changing Location

Spotify Free lets you enjoy music in another country or region for up to 2 weeks. After that, you’ll need to change your account location to keep listening. However, Spotify’s music library varies by country due to licensing restrictions. This means your favorite playlists might not be available in your new location. If you want to avoid these limitations and ensure seamless music access wherever you travel, consider downloading your favorite Spotify songs and podcasts to MP3.
