How do I get AppleCare+ after trading in iPhone abroad?

If I trade in my phone in Costa Rica, it is my understanding that the representatives like Ishop and I con can't not sell the AppleCare+, can I buy it on line?

In addition to what Kurtosis12 suggested, if you don't live in Costa Rica, the phone won't have warranty in another country and you can't add an AppleCare+ plan on a phone purchased outside your country. You should ONLY buy from Apple or an Apple Authorized Seller IN the country you live and will use the phone.
