Yes, but also with this account you have to wait ...

Maybe your phone is sold unlocked? As I see, china (international) version is sold with unlocked bootloader, which remain unlocked when flashing fastboot rom.

thank u
If my device is already sold unlocked, is that mean i can flash my device to global version directly without passing by unlock bootload, so i can use directly XiaMiFlash.exe to flash the device?
How can i know the bootloader of my device is sold locked or unlocked?
thanks for support.

You can check your phone as shown there:

If your phone is unlocked, than you can flash custom recovery (twrp maybe), and than you can install any rom.

But it's not 100% what you see in your phone - maybe you have fake unlocked phone...

Some phones which are china versions come with global roms - flashed via edl mode, and strange versions of MIUI - last 0 means that this is not official version, like in picture.
