Downloading other countries apps

If you're downloading a free app, then just create another Apple ID, and use any random address in that country (e.g. your hotel, random office building etc) without inputting the payment details. Basically the payment details are not mandatory to create an account, unless you're buying a paid app.

You'll then need to sign in to iCloud and iTunes with the same Apple ID - but it'll force you to do so anyway (it seems to do to me).

Once you download the app of foreign country you may switch back to your primary account, but that particular app may not receive subsequent updates, unless you switch back to that foreign App Store.

Hope this helps.

It is possible to download apps from other countries.

Change your country on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Tap iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.

At the bottom of the Featured page, tap Sign In.

If you're already signed in, skip to step 5.

Enter your Apple ID and password and tap OK.

Tap your Apple ID.

Tap View Apple ID or View Account.

Tap Country/Region.

Tap Agree if you agree to the terms and conditions.

In the prompt that appears, tap Agree.

Select a payment method and enter your payment information.

Enter your billing address and tap Next.

Hope this help you download your apps.

You can't unless you have an address and credit card for those countries.

The iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

There are no impact with what I am certain with. But some countries will have a cheaper price for their apps.

You may not want to... but you will need to.

I dont find quoting terms and conditions a helpful answer

It does add Clarity as to why you will need to Set Up an Account for the Country you are in.

so without setting up another account how do I download the app onto my device

You cannot.

HI does this mean it would be illegal to change your region and create another Apple ID for that region even though you are not physically present in that region in order to download an app?
