Can I switch to the same region twice?

Can I switch to the same region twice? My steam account was created in Bangladesh but I'm now living in China and switched to the Chinese region. If I somehow convert to Bangladesh again, will I able to revert to Chinese region again?

are you going to be a PERMANENT resident of China?

Short answer yes, you can search up steam faq country change.

Please note it idea to doing this if plan to living in said places for awhile.

Also switching store region is restricted to once every 3 months.
So you have a 90 day cooldown period after you change store country before you can swich again.

Not permanent, I'm a student here. Asking this because I'll be going to my home country for vacation for a few months

I think the recommendation by Valve was that if you go to another country for 6+ months to switch to that store region. For shorter times or vacations you should stay on your home country store region.

I see. I'm guessing my home country region is Bangladesh since it was created there and now its China since I'm gonna be here for a few years. What I was confused about was in case I plan to go back to my country for more than 6 months (and switch region there) and came back to China, will I still be able to change my region to China ( I heard people say you can't change to the same region twice, so that's why I'm confused)

That is not a problem as long as you fulfll the conditions.
Namely having a payment method registered in the country you want to switch to and your last switch is longer ago then 3 months.
Apart from those two you can switch as often as you like and between the same or different countries, does not matter.
There is no restriction to switch to the same country more then one time.
