@kada0797: If you're outside the region that the device was intended to be used in, then this can lead to compatibility issues with updates, due to software variances that exist in our devices from country to country. If you're unable to update your S21 Ultra via Settings > Software update > Download and install, then you may wish to try Smart Switch on a PC or Mac to see if this helps. 

To begin with, please follow the link below, and click on 'How Do I Get Smart Switch On My PC or Mac' to download the relevant version

Once installed, open Smart Switch, connect your S21 Ultra using the USB cable that came packaged with the device, and look for an update prompt on the landing page, next to your device details.
