Q: Purchasing in different App Store without foreign credit card
Hello!
I have an account for the German App Store. Now on holiday I would like to purchase an app (for free) in the Australian store. But I am neither allowed to purchase that nor create a new account/ change the region without an Australian credit card.
I need that app for a membership that I have already purchased.
Thanks so much for your help

The way around this would be to follow Apple's instructions for creating a new Apple ID without need for a bank card that you can use while you are in Australia.

You can later abandon this Apple ID. Don't use this ID to actually buy anything while you are in Australia unless it is content that you can also abandon, because you woould need to maintain this ID to continue to use and update the content.
