Basically I'm from Pakistan but now I moved to US for a job, I'm also having a driver license but I don't have an SSN number because I'm Pakistani. As I moved in US now I really need a PayPal account for the ease of my life, so how can I make PayPal account in a legal way without any limitations?

You can. But if you use PayPal to receive money from selling, get paid for work by employer or freelancing, you will need to provide a US tax ID number though to help verify your account and for PayPal to comply with US tax reporting regulations. Instead of SSN, you can get a ITIN.

 

I recommend successfully getting a ITIN, bank account, debit card, phone number, all the things you need to set up PayPal account or you can experience low account performance. 


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
