You cannot buy apps in one country from a different country.


If you are trying to download from your country, see if your region got accidentally messed up:


Sign out of the iTunes Store [ https://support.apple.com/HT203983 ] and sign in again to get the iTunes Store region to match the region to which your Apple ID country is set, as described in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250611340?answerId=251184940022#251184940022


Go to: Settings > Account > Media & Purchases > View Account > Country/Region


Make sure it is set to your normal country.


In the "Media & Purchases" menu, sign out and then sign in again.
