When I lived in South Africa I use to get approached by recruiters who wanted to place me in a job in South Africa. I then moved overseas and now get lots of recruitment offers for the place I currently live. 

I have set in my LinkedIn profile that I'm interested in working in South Africa and the various types of positions I am open to but only recruiters for my current location contact me.

I'm not actively looking for a job, but it would be nice to be contacted by recruiters where I want to work. If I didn't change my location to overseas location it could be seen as just out dated data. 

Is there an issue with me changing location to where I want to work and explaining to recruiters that I'm not currently living there but will be?
