Does anybody know if it's possible to get a German-based Visa Lufthansa Miles&More creditcard when located in another country?

I live in the Netherlands, we do have a Visa Lufthansa Miles&More creditcard, BUT the German-based card is a bit cheaper AND all award miles remain valid, while in my case -when using the Netherlands-based card- they will expire after three years.

I tried to contact them, but after 20 minutes on an expensive number, tried 20 times to call an expensive German number and no answer on my email until now, I try this way. Although, these experiences make me wonder if I'm doing the right thing even trying it...
