Why must credit card be same country than billing address ??

I want to buy from App Store. BUT: I have a credit card from Germany (because cash withdrawal worldwide is free if charge), my passport is Austrian and my billing address is Thailand, where I live at the moment.
This was all my life the same. 2002: Credit card Switzerland, Passport Austria, living in Greece.
So, how can I pay with my credit card I use worldwide in the App Store?
I do not intend to get a Thai Credit Card with real bad conditions to be allowed to pay in App Store only because my billing address is Thailand!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Apple's rules are that you must use the Mac App Store/iTunes Stores for the country of your residense. If you use a bank card it must be a verifiable card from a bank in your couuntry of residense with a verifiable billing address in your country of residence. Period. There is no way to get around it if you intend to make purchases with a bank card.
I suggest that you open a simple bank account in Thailand that will provide you with a bank VISA/Master Card debit card and then fund the account with enough money to cover your purchases.

Ordered an iPhone 6 Plus off contract with a credit card that has a different billing address than the account. Does it matter and is the order going to be cancelled if it doesn't process the card correctly?

Just don't want to find out Wednesday that my order was cancelled or delayed because the credit card has a different billing address than the account. If they check the validity of the card at the time you pre-order I don't see it being a problem.

Oh, should mention I ordered right at 3AM (EST) on the 12th and got a Confirmation email with a Deliver by: 9/19/14 but when you try the "Check Status page" it spits out "Expected Ship Date: Not available at this time."

I can't buy in app store, my credit card is from USA but billing address is from venezuela.

How should I set app store?
If I set to USA app store doesn't accept the address
If I set to Venezuela app store doesn't accept the credit card

I have an account in the US but billing address is from Venezuela, I guess I can't use it to purchase apps from app store.
I use it in Amazon without problems, problem with app store is not flexible to set address in venezuela with us
I will try with gift card
Thanks for your early reply.

Ordered 128GB iPhone 6 Plus. Confirmation email recieved 9/19/14 ship date, but site says it's still processing. I'm an authorized user on the account and paid with my personal credit card which has a different billing address that the account. Just ma

Anyone know if they check the validity of payment method when they take the order or just when they ship the phone.

Typically your card is not charged until the order process. It should not matter the billing address on the card vs the shipping address. However, the phone can only be shipped to the billing address on the VZW account.

Did you actually watch the movie? You get 30 days in which to view it and if you didn't watch it, that could be why you are getting that message. If you have watched the movie and you're sure that is has expired by now, contact iTunes Store Support and seek their help.
Change the country in the upper left. - and click on Purchases, billing and redemption to proceed.

Yeap, that's what I was afraid of. I have a valid card and a valid billing address, I just don't see why they're keeping people like me from using their service, and what the actual roadblock is in getting an iTunes Store for Serbia.
Thanks anyway!

Why My credit card statement have (Apple iTunes Store usus luxembourg )amount is usd 9.99

What/ Why My credit card statement have (Apple iTunes Store usus luxembourg )amount is usd 9.99

I had the sam problem this weekend and I contacted my bank and Apple. My bank's response was professional and positive, but Apple's response was very very shoddy. I had to weave through automated menus and referrals to multiple apple web sites. This treatment continued for two days until I was finally forwarded to Maria. She took this seriously and helped as best she could.
Unfortunately I think Apple is taking a very cavalier approah to a potentially serious security breach. After loyally purchasing 3 I-Phone 4s, 3 I-Pod touches, 2 I-pods, 1 Nano, 3 Apple TVs, 2 macbook pros, 1 mac, and Ipad over the last 5 years apple is on the verge of losing my business.

Can anyone tell me why my credit card payment has been refused because the card was issued from a bank in the Caribbean??

Was the card issued in and have a billing address in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use? If not, that's why it's being rejected.

These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know.
Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (format and spacing) as you have on your iTunes account ? If it is then you can contact iTunes support via this page and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

You can only use a credit card that is issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are based. If you don't have one of those then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ?
