@IOancea
I also will soon have the same problem.
You can contact the apple express lane from support in apple.com. I’ve used it and always have gotten good responses…

How do I change my country in iTunes when I have money left on the account? There’s something like 73 cents left, which I can’t spend, and iTunes won’t let me change my country until it’s spent.
Any ideas?

@Captain Anegada: I think you should be able to use an iTunes gift card from the U.S. and make purchases in the U.S. iTunes Store regardless of which country you’re physically in.

My wife and I are US Expats in the British Virgin Islands. Because our US Credit Card (VISA) has our BVI PO Box as a billing address, we can no longer purchase at the iTunes Store. Any way around this? The BVI iTunes Store does not offer music at all and we dont purchase apps.

I’m a Swiss expat, living in Cuba. I can access the iTunes store in US, but I can’t use it, because the want to be paid by a US bank account. I have a Paypal account, but this is not accepted because I don’t fund it with a US bank account. What’s that for?

Nobody in this forum thinks about the link between an IP and a specific Apple Store. Can I influence this link?

I’d like to buy content in German to help teach my child another language. Live in us though. Is there any way around all these restrictions. The us store has limited to no German content at all. How can I buy. From the German store?

@Chris: When you upload your app to iTunes Connect you can select which markets you want the app to for sale in. The default is world wide. But you can exclude the U.S. if you want.
