Apple/iTunes gift cards are primarily designed for use in the country where they are purchased. However, Apple has been expanding the usability of iTunes gift cards to more countries over time. Here is a general overview of how iTunes gift cards can be used internationally:

Country-Specific Cards: These cards are usually denoted with the country's currency and can only be used in the iTunes Store for that specific country. For example, a US iTunes gift card can only be used in the US iTunes Store.

Region-Specific Cards: Some cards are designed for use in a specific region, such as the European Union, allowing them to be used in any country within that region's iTunes Store.

Global Cards: Apple has introduced a Global iTunes Gift Card that can be used in multiple countries, but the countries supported can vary and may not include all regions. Users should check the terms and conditions or the Apple Support website for the latest information on which countries are supported.

Redeeming in Different Countries: If a user moves to a different country, they may be able to use their iTunes gift card balance by changing their Apple ID's country setting to match the country of the gift card. However, this might require updating the payment method to one that is accepted in the new country's iTunes Store.

Cross-Country Use: In some cases, users have reported being able to use gift cards from one country in another, but this is not guaranteed and may depend on individual circumstances.

It's important to note that the availability and rules for using iTunes gift cards can change, so it's always a good idea to check the latest information on the Apple Support website or by contacting Apple Support directly. Additionally, the rules for redeeming iTunes gift cards may differ from those for using Apple Store gift cards, which are typically country-specific.
