Wow, I am out off breath from reading that sentence with only a few commas. ;-)

There could be several reasons why you may not be allowed to change countries, such as ongoing subscriptions or existing Apple ID balance. Note that changing countries is an involved process and is not something you do temporarily. It may involve loss of access to some purchases, etc. It was nice of your friend to send you a card but it isn't intended for overseas gifting. Apple IDs are only intended to be used in a single home country of residence, with all the limitations of whatever is available in that country.

Please read this link. It contains the information you need.
