Is this VISA card a credit card, a dedit card issued by your bank or a prepaid debit card that you bought in a store.


Apple does not accept many prepaid debit cards as a payment method.


You usually need a functioning payment method for your account. Even to download free apps, to re-download or to update apps.


You can find the acceptable payment methods for your country here;
