I got the same Mail. They want to move my account from Germany to Thailand. I've not been to Thailand (or anywhere else) since 2 years...

Also, very shady is to give you 30 days to react and when you fill out the form (which you linked in your post) the confirmation says:

We’ll get back to you by email within a few weeks.

There's a strange irony to that. I wonder if they're just testing the waters by doing this, and seeing how many people object.

After all it didn't take them weeks to respond. Lucky me!

You recently sent us a request to change the country associated with your Google Account. After reviewing your account, we think your current country association is accurate and we didn't change anything.

Your country:Thailand

In case you haven't sorted this out yet. I replied to that Mail, they'll have to fix it or i will complain with German authorities. Now I live in Germany again 😉

That's good Daniel. For sure, this won't fly in Germany!
