Based in the US; can I purchase PS Plus for a UK-based player?

Based in the US; can I purchase PS Plus for a UK-based player? - Space Gray Iphone 8

As the title says: I'm a PlayStation User in the US, and I'd like to purchase PlayStation Plus time for a friend of mine who lives in the UK. The PlayStation Store suggests the correct way to do this is to buy a top-up code or PS Plus gift card from them and give the code to my friend:

You can buy a wallet top-up voucher code and the recipient can add these funds to their wallet to buy a PlayStation Plus membership from PlayStation Store. You can also buy a PlayStation Plus membership gift card or voucher code in a variety of high street and online retailers and the recipient can redeem this on their account.

But I can't find information anywhere about whether those codes are country-specific, and, if they are, whether the PSN store would allow a US user to purchase a code from their UK site.

Anyone have any insight here?

Can you use US PlayStation Plus in UK?

Having checked the Sony forums, PSN renewal codes are usually country specific (so a US card will not work in the UK). However, you will be purchasing an EU-region code, which should work in all EU countries, so I'm told. 3 of 4 found this helpful.
