How can I add my canadian credit card while staying abroad and having my apple store country/region in Lebanon?

I am living in Lebanon and I have my apple store country/region set to Lebanon. My subscription payment to icloud and apple were declined because my Lebanese credit card is out of service now. I want to add my canadian credit card as a new payment method but it seems that I can’t add it while I have my country/region set to Lebanon, and when I go to the country/region setting it says that I can’t change it right now. Any idea how can I solve this issue without getting a new lebanese credit card?

Hello elianeradi,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that your Canadian payment method was declined in the App Store because your country/region is set to Lebanon, and we'd like to share some info with you.


The following article explains which payment methods you can use in your country: Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID. The "Learn more" section has a few additional steps that you can take if the credit card you're trying to use is accepted in Lebanon.


On the other hand, if no other payment method can be used, you may need to update your location. This resource breaks down the steps: Change your Apple ID country or region


We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
