Only master card, visa card or Amex card are accepted by iTunes, no other way around except redeeming iTunes account.

While creating your iTunes account, you should select the country your visa card belongs too, and provide address info related to your visa card. I've used Canada visa cards and Chinese visa card with my iTunes accounts and they linked well.
Also you sure a capable of creating an iTunes account without credit cards.
1.) go to the app store and chose any free app to download.
2.) at the dialogue box coming up to enter your apple ID, tap on "create an account"
3.) when you arrive at the stage where you need to select your credit card type, check in the list and select "none" (if you are creating your account using your iPhone then "none" is the last one completely down, you need to scroll the list to see the "none" option) and follow on screen instructions.

That's very interesting. Can you elaborate? I'm willing to learn this one.

Go to iTunes store under your account and edit payment type. I would take a screen shot of this but don't know how to blur out my info.

You must do it from your computer. I just purchased another app from iTunes with PayPal.

Oops... My bad. You are right. The PayPal option is well there.
No need to upload your screenshot.
