Buying Portal 2 for my friend in Europe

[Potato]

I want to buy Portal 2 for my friend in Northern Ireland while I live in Taiwan, are there gonna be any restrictions for it?

If the game has any restriction you'll see it during checkout.

it says "Notice: Purchases made in Taiwan can only be added to your library if you are in Hong Kong or Taiwan."
but can they just go to settings and change the download region to Taiwan?

there is no way to bypass the region restriction for games.

That can get you/your friend in trouble like account termination for example.

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.
