How i can download an already paid App from another App Store Region?

Hi, i have a paid app i downloaded from UAE store in 2013. It does not show in US store. I need to re-download same app on new device. I tried changing the region in App Store but it asks for Credit Card from that region to proceed. How i can i access the paid apps in other regions and download them if i do not have that region's Credit Card?

iPad 2, iOS 9

You cannot.

What to do before you change your country or region

Spend any balance remaining on your Apple ID. If you're not sure whether you have a balance, check your Apple ID balance.
Cancel your subscriptions and wait until the end of the subscription period.
Wait for any memberships, pre-orders, movie rentals, or Season Passes to complete, and wait for any pending store credit refunds to process. You can cancel a pre-order.
Make sure that you have a payment method for your new country or region. See what payment methods you can use.
Redownload your apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books on any devices that you might use to play or read them in the future. That's because some types of content might not be available in your new country or region. (Learn what types of content and services are available in your new country or region.)
