You might need to ask your financial institution to allow international purchases on your debit or credit card.


If you want to know why a debit card, credit card, or other payment method was declined, speak with your financial institution. Apple doesn't have information about why the payment method was declined.


More info:

See what to do: If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support
