Add a Method of Payment:

You need at least one Method of Payment in there. This is because for free apps, there are in-app purchases. So, add the new Method of Payment, and then remove the current Method(s) of Payment. Go Here: Change, Add, or Remove Apple ID Payment Methods - Apple Support

Location Restrictions:

Note that not all applications are avaialbe in all locations. This all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Developer.

Apps… and how to set up payments…

If you are trying to download a new app, go to the App Store app and search for the desired app. Once found, tap the Get icon and verify the download. Within a few seconds the app should appear with a loading circle on it. Depending on the size of the app, this can take 30 seconds to a few minutes to load.
