# Cancel services and subscriptions

1 min read · Updated 13 September 2026

When a person moves to another country, there are several common subscriptions and automatic payments that they might need to cancel or adjust:

**Cable or satellite TV:** If you're moving from a country where you have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you'll need to cancel it or find a similar service in your new country.

**Streaming services:** Services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime have regional restrictions, and you might have to cancel them or find the equivalent service in your new country.

**Internet and phone:** If you have a monthly internet or phone plan with your current service provider, you'll need to cancel it or find a new provider in your new country.

**Gym or fitness memberships:** If you have a gym or fitness membership, you'll need to cancel it or find a new gym in your new location.

**Magazine and newspaper subscriptions:** If you have subscriptions to magazines or newspapers, you'll need to cancel them or find digital alternatives in your new country.

**Automatic payments:** Make sure to check your bank statements for any automatic payments you might have, like, for example, recurring subscription boxes or online services.

**Insurance policies:** If you have insurance policies like car, health or home insurance, you'll need to cancel them or find new providers in your new country.

It's important to check the terms and conditions of each subscription or service to see if you can cancel or transfer your account, and also check if there is an equivalent service in the new country. It's also a good idea to cancel or adjust these subscriptions and payments well in advance of your move to avoid any disruptions or additional fees.
