Here is what you can do: Buy something more expensive than your balance & pay the rest with a credit card. Or if you don't have enough balance for a single item and cannot add a credit card, contact Apple support directly to have them clear it.

Keep in mind, if you are clearing the amount in order to change regions, there are other things you must also do. Apple details them here:

Change your Apple Account country or region - Apple Support

The people on this forum are Apple products users like yourself and cannot empty your account balance for you. There are two ways you can try:

#1. If your account’s current country allows you to add a credit or debit card, purchase an item (not a subscription) worth slightly more than your balance. Your balance will be emptied and the excess owed will be billed to your card. This method is the easiest and you get to use all your money instead of just giving it to Apple.

#2. To ask Apple Support to remove and keep the balance:

- Click on the special empty-balance-request chat link at the bottom of this support article ➔ Check your Apple Account balance - Apple Support

- General Apple support and service contact ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support If live support options are available they will show near the bottom left. Telephone numbers may only work when calling from the same country. If numbers show as colored links, click on them for more options.

- With an iPhone, iPad, or Vision, you may be able to chat using the Apple Support App if it is available in your country ➔ https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-support/id1130498044

If you cannot contact Apple then method #1 is the only way to empty your balance. If you can neither add a flexible payment method nor contact Apple, your alternative is to create a new Apple Account when you are in the new country. Avoid doing that if at all possible as it may cause many complications with your current account content and resetting equipment.

When changing account regions there’s a full set of guidelines in this support article ➔

According to Apple:

Before you update your Apple Account location:

• Spend any remaining Apple Account balance: You can spend your remaining balance on the App Store, other Apple services or in some countries and regions, Apple products and accessories. If you’re not sure if you have a balance, check your Apple Account balance.
• Clear a low Apple Account balance: If your balance is less than the cost of a single item in the App Store or other Apple services, learn how to clear your balance.
• Cancel subscriptions that block a country or region change: Cancel any subscriptionsthat block a country or region change, then wait until the end of the subscription period. 
• Wait for pending activity to clear: Wait for any memberships, pre-orders, movie rentals or Season Passes to complete. You can cancel a pre-order. Also wait for any pending refunds from Apple to process.
• Check your Family Sharing status: If you’re a part of a Family Sharing group, you might not be able to change your country or region. Learn how to leave a Family Sharing group.
• Have a valid payment method ready: You might need to enter a valid payment method for your new country or region. If you don’t want to enter a payment method, wait until you're physically in your new country or region. Then create a new Apple Account.
• Redownload your content: Some types of content might not be available in your new country or region. Redownload your apps, music, movies, TV shows and books on any devices that you might use to play or read them in the future.
