Hello everyone, young gamer from Lebanon here, I'm facing a bit of trouble here with the Lebanese e-shop: it doesn't exist. So I bought my switch 4 months ago or so, got myslef Zelda Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Now the problem I'm facing is that I want to buy DLC, but e-shop is nowhere in my region, is there a way I can resolve this problem since I've been intrested in non-cartridge games that can only be downloaded. Thanks in advance. Honestly I think that Nintendo isn't investing enough in the Middle-East which has a growing market of gamer. IGN made a post in 2015 descibing the problem and I think they're right. Countries like the Saoudites, Lebanon and Jordan are countries that have been stable for quite sometime and I think that investing in them just like Sony and Microsoft do would be an excellent idea.

Hmm, I'm not entirely certain since I haven't tried myself, but I think I've read that you can create a new user account and set the region to a place that does have the eshop. Maybe that would help? Sorry in advance if that is completely wrong

@ThisRandomDude Just like Operative2-0 said above, create a brand new Nintendo account with a different email, set the region to US or whatever region you would like to buy from and in your Switch settings link it to your console. In the top left of your home screen you should now have a new user account and when selected you can browse the Eshop of that region. You may have problems buying direct from the Eshop though as your credit/debit card won't match the region. There is ways around that though,like buying Eshop codes and topping your account up with credit. That's what I do. Let me know how you get on and I can give you advice what to do.

Well for starters what region are the (supposed) physical versions of the games you have?

I believe the DLC must match in region to work.
