Hello!

 

When I opened my account I was working in USA. I registered my address then and my phone number. Its been a while since I left and I would like to do one of two things.

 

.- Change my country, address and phone number or...

.- Close and cancel my account and open a new one with my same email.

 

How can I do one ? which is the best option?

Paypal is country specific so if you move country you have to open another paypal account in that country and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.

The only exception is U.S users can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts.

 

BUT you should have closed your account and removed all financial info on your old account BEFORE you left the U.S but go ahead and try anyway as long as it does not hit security and paypal want to make sure its you and not that your account has been hijacked and being used in another country.
