According to: If you can't redeem your Apple Gift Card or App Store & iTunes Gift Card - Apple Support

Card is not activated

If you see a message that says that your card has not been properly activated, it might not have been activated by the retailer who sold the card. The best option is to go back to the retailer and try to resolve it with them.

"I do not live where i bought the card i live far away and i cannot go back, is there any other way to fix my card?"

Have it Returned:

Have family in that location? If so, send it to them, and have them return it. Cards are only usable in the location/region they were purchased in.
