See this Apple article:  If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card

👉Code must be redeemed in a different country or region

If you see a message that says the code must be redeemed in another storefront, the card was probably purchased in another country or region. You can't redeem Apple Gift Cards or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards outside of the country or region of purchase. For example, if you bought an App Store & iTunes Gift Card in France, you can't redeem it in the App Store in the United States.

Sorry, the Apple Gift card from Ireland cannot be used in the Apple Stores in France.


>> Gift Cards purchased in Ireland and content codes can only be linked to an Account in Ireland and can only be used for purchases in Ireland. However, Products purchased on the Apple online store may have restrictions on where they deliver. Please review Apple online store delivery terms for any restrictions. <<


Gift Cards purchased in another country are subject to the laws and regulations of the place of purchase. Sorry.
