To use in a new country/region, you need to zero-out your balance.

  • Purchase something that is more than what is in your account
  • Contact Apple Support, asking the Apple Rep to Zero-Out your balance

Contacting Apple Support:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
