Apple will cut off third-party app store updates if your iPhone leaves the EU for a month

Users in the European Union can now install alternative app marketplaces and access apps offered through these platforms on iOS 17.4 or later, in compliance with the Digital Markets Act. To qualify, your Apple ID country or region must be set in an EU country, and you must physically be located within the EU. Apple only checks device eligibility on-device and does not collect location data to protect user privacy. If you leave the EU, you can still use previously installed apps from alternative app marketplaces, which may receive updates for up to 30 days after your departure. However, you must be physically present in the EU to install new alternative app marketplaces and apps from them.
