    You can't unless you have a verified account in the Singapore iTunes Store. That requires a valid bank charge card from a Singaporean bank and a billing address in Singapore. It would be easier to send her a check.

    It's more international law and problems with collecting money from people not from the billing company's origin.

    That is not an iTunes decision. That is a decision made by the content holders. Since the rate of currency differs drastically from country to country, it would be a major issue if you were able to just change countries on your account willy nilly and purchase something cheaper from the Mexico store rather than the US store, even though you lived in the US yourself.

    I see this is a query from last year. I am based in Singapore, and I have an iTunes acocunt linked here in Singapore but I still can't seem to find anywhere that I can "buy" or "send" my son and Itunes gift card - any ideas how I can send him a gift card ?
