Apple Care is tied to the hardware product and the country of purchase, and the Apple Care+ warranty may have some limitations outside the country of purchase:
...
Service will be limited to the options available for the specific Covered Equipment at the time and in the country and location where you request service. Service options, parts availability, and response times may vary. If service is not available for the Covered Equipment in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service in a country where service is available. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T., and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards applicable to where the service is provided.

If you're asking about the subscription, I do not know of any way to transfer or start a subscription in another country.
You are welcome to ask Apple: "If you need help with your AppleCare coverage, contact Apple Support."
