thanks solved

@Baromosa  -  I am so sorry to hear this. I did several searches on Answers HQ, and could not find any recent answers that sound helpful. 

As a fellow player, the only thought I had is maybe you could purchase it through Amazon or another online retailer that allows you to purchase via U.S. currency. That would get the U.S. download version, but I don't know how comparable the prices would be. If that's not an option, or not a good option, you could try contacting EA support:

1. Click on the following link https://help.ea.com/en/origin
2. Choose Billing/Purchasing from the issue list
3. Go to Contact us button at the bottom of the page
4. Select the platform you play on
5. Describe your issue in "Please tell us a bit more about your issue"
6. Select a contact option.

From what I've read, using a vpn will not help as it will not validate your credit card through a vpn.

Maybe one of our Community Managers will have a better answer for you @EA_Barry  @EA_Darko  - Any help on this issue?

6 years later this is still a problem for US service members around the world who want to buy games, but do not wish to pay in foreign currency. My account is set up as a North American account, but since I access the internet from Korea I will continue to have to pay in Korean Won. 

EA Origin as a service continues to lag behind other digital distributors because of silly reasons.

Note: Steam occasionally will show Korean Won but lets me change the setting at will to purchase in USD.
