I went to Japan, changed my store to Japan and added a prepaid credit card to purchase apps. Now I am back in Dubai and I can't change the store to Dubai now. My WhatsApp is about to expire in 1 day.
IOS – Can’t change the store back after adding prepaid credit card

In iTunes, go to the iTunes Store tab, and click on your account in the top right corner, as shown.
After typing your password, you will see this page. Click 'Change Country or Region', and change it. All done!
Note: if you have any iTunes Store credit, you will have to spend all of it before it lets you switch countries.
Thanks for documenting the current state of play. Although most can buy gift cards from the store of your choice and load them into the App Store, if they truly are not easily available in your country just slowing down the cycling of cards you use for payment is the obvious choice out of this dilemma.

Best Answer
you probably have money left on your Apple account which you created in Japan. the other possibility is that you may have some subscriptions to which you subscribed in Japan (for example, Apple Music, any news papers and so on).
so you would have to spend all that money or unsubscribe to be able to change the store
