    Read accepted payment types.

    One possibility: Some banks restrict online shopping on issued VISA debit/credit cards. Either this facility has to be activated or a separate supplementary "Internet card" has to be issued for online shopping. Double check with your bank.

    There is a difference between online shopping using your VISA debit card/credit card and Internet banking facility on your account. You may very well have Internet banking facility, but restricted ability to shop online using your VISA debit/credit card. In order to be sure, verify this from your bank.

     

    If your country is listed in the iTunes store and you are using a valid VISA debit/credit issued from the bank of the same country with a verified billing address, I see no reason why you should not be able to make purchase, except where your bank is declining to authorize that transaction.
