Clear gift card balance before switching country

I need to switch country of my account but have gift card balance left. The balance is insufficient to buy anything so need to top up $$ to spend to clear balance. However, I do not have any more gift card or credit card of current country. How can I clear balance before switch country in this case??

Have Apple keep it

"If you still can't change your country or region, or you have less store credit than the cost of a single item, contact Apple Support." Apple will remove the balance and keep it.

Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region Select your country, then a product such as billing. If you do not see your country, see if there is an "other" listing for that region. If you don't see an option that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

Or call Apple Support --> https://support.apple.com/HT201232
