Note that the full functionality of a Firestick is only available in a handful of countries, including:

  • United States
  • Canada
  • United Kingdom
  • Germany
  • Austria
  • Japan
  • India
  • France
  • Italy
  • Spain

The Fire TV Cube only works in the USA, the UK, Canada, Germany, and Japan.

Do this if you want to be able to make Prime Video purchases and rentals in a different country. Prime Video purchases and rentals are only available in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Austria.

Now go back to your Fire TV Stick and restart it. You’ll be prompted to register the Firestick again through the same process as when you first purchased it.

You should now have access to Prime Video content from other countries, though you might still need a VPN to access it. See more below.

How to change your Firestick IP address to a different country

If you want to unblock region-locked streaming video from Prime Video as well as other apps like BBC iPlayer, Crunchyroll, and Hulu, then you’ll need an IP address associated with the country from which you’re streaming. A VPN is the easiest method to change your IP address. A few quality VPN providers make apps for Fire TV devices.

  • Sign up for NordVPN, download, and install the app for Firestick.
  • Open the VPN app, select the country where the streaming service is located, and connect.
  • Wait a few seconds for the connection to be established. You should now have a different IP address.
  • Go back to your preferred streaming app and start watching! If you’re having playback issues, check out our guide to stopping buffering on Firestick.

Note that some VPNs are blocked by streaming services, so take advantage of money-back guarantees to test out VPNs until you find one that works.
