You need a valid payment method even for free apps.

Go to Settings, tap your Apple ID banner at the top of the screen, Payments & Shipping

Your card must be in date.

The country of the card bank must match the country region setting of the phone and App Store

You may need to uninstall any VPN which spoofs your country location.

If all else fails, reach out to Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: contact Apple Support
