I need to add another Credit Card with an address in Suriname. How?

If I try to submit a new Credit Card for payments, the systems asks for an address in USA. But my address is in Suriname - Caribbean/South America. Please Help!

From: Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID; click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT202631

"Make sure that the billing address for your payment method matches the billing address for your Apple ID. In some cases, you might need to call your bank or financial institution to authorize international or online purchases. You might also need to confirm that the mobile number associated with your payment method is correct."


You apparently can use a card issued in a different country but it has to be billed to you at an address that is in the country to which your iTunes and App Stores are set. This requirement makes it unusual to be able use a card from a different country since card companies may be reluctant to issue a card unless the customer's address is in the card company's country.


At this point there is a conundrum. An official Apple team member contradicts the "international" use of cards outlined in Apple's document by recommending a post saying, "You need a valid credit card issued by a bank in the country the store is in..." over a post quoting the above section from payment methods document. - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253211481
