Q: Can I have Family Sharing with my girlfriend who is living in a different country?

My girlfriend is currently living in Japan and has her account registered there. I am in the U.S. and have my account registered in the U.S. Am I able to add her to the Family Sharing plan? Also, why are we not able to give gifts to people from different countries?

    Because this is the policy of Apple.  Why is not something that can be answered here.  Companies generally do not announce why they make each decision.
