A couple questions:


Is the credit card issued in the country of the App Store you're tied to? If it isn't, you need to have a credit card, which is issued in the country you use the App Store.


Have you read this link about how to add a payment method to your Apple Account --> Add a payment method to your Apple Account - Apple Support


And this if you can't add a payment method --> If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


Finally, this on payment methods you can use with Apple Account --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple Account - Apple Support
