Is this Apple's business to check does my credit card belong to this country or not? I may have credit cards in dfferent countries and I can use them wherever I want. I can buy salt from the market with this credit card in a completely different country but I cannot buy applications from App Store. This is ridiculous.
If it is a bug, just fix it. If it is a kind of a "security" policy, I have to say that: "it is ********!"

Finally fixed 😀 woke up this morning and found the card was accepted, now I can clear off that silly arrears and get back to wasting more money on apps 😀
has this problem been resolved? I'm still getting the same error
Thanks for any guidance....
"The payment card you entered is not valid in Russia"... 😠
"The payment card you entered is not valid in Kazakhstan" Payment card issued by Russian Bank. Used it for 6 months and it is not valid. 😠
Why do you want to buy apps from Russia in Kazakhstan's AppStore? O_o

I have same problem with my card.
Yesterday I've run out of money, so I added costs to my card - and now it always says that payment method is not valid for Russia. Bank was not able to provide any information, they say that they don't even get an error from iTunes.
Same in India. With EntroPay Virtual Card...

I kept escalating to Apple and they finally got back to me saying the card looks Belgian to their systems. I now went back to Amex and asked them to get their ITunes account manager to talk to Apple and get it fixed. I don't care whose fault it is, only that the problem get fixed. What boggles my mind is that only the last 5 digits of the new card were different, so how that turns a Lux card into a Belgian card is beyond me.
Having the same problem- appstore not accepting my visa, saying that the payment method is incorrect and the postcode as well.
Sumbitted ticket to the support.
Very flustrating...
I just experienced the same situation this morning.
The simple way to fix it is -- select none for you payment first, then change the country/region.
It should work!
