Can I change my location? I seem to have been registered by default in South Africa, but I am actually in Botswana. Therefore cannot update location or currency properly

Thanks for posting in the Community, @lastseeningabs-g.

In QuickBooks Online, changing the location settings within your account is not an option since the account's country is already set where the subscription was made. For more information, check out this article: Can I change the account's country?.

If you'll want to change location, you may need to create a new subscription in QuickBooks then cancel the other account to avoid double billing. 

To create a new account, here's how:

1. Open this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/choose-country/.
2. Choose the country you want to subscribe to.
3. Select whether to subscribe now or use a 30-day free trial and the type of subscription you will be using.
4. Click Add another company, then enter your existing Intuit login credentials.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the account.

For the detailed instructions, see this article: Create or subscribe to another company.

After that, you can import your customers, suppliers, chart of accounts, and products and services list. Doing so will help you save your time from re-entering them. To guide you through the process, see this resource: Move your lists to QuickBooks Online. 

Once completed, you can now cancel the other subscription. I've got you this article for the detailed steps: Cancel your QuickBooks Online subscription.
