Can I add an authorized card user outside of the United States?

I would like to add a user in a different country and get a new card for them. Is that possible?

Probably not. Activating the card requires an iPhone. It cannot be activated over the phone, online or via chat. The participant must have a US Apple Account and region of his iPhone must be set to US region. The participant must also be a member of your Apple Family group.
