Population Identification Code

PayPal Thailand asks my Population Identification Code. As I'm not a Thai national I don't have it. Does it means that foreigners living in Thailand cannot use PayPal anymore?

Tacchan i have the solution. It worked for me. Look at the bottom of your passport (page with your picture). There is also your ID number + other numbers and letters. Type them and it will work.

I have read this, but it doesn't answer my question.
It specifically says that "Existing PayPal [...] can also continue to accept payments easily and securely." I have been registered to PayPal in Thailand for 6 or 7 years, but today it asked me to insert a PIC otherwise my account will be terminated.

Thanks! It worked by inserting the first 13 letters/figures from that string (for a French passport it should be the passport number + the country code FRA. I'm Italian, for me it was passport number + ITA)

Oh, I'm glad I found this. I was worried too. 

Thank you for the guy down below who said, "type in the numbers at the bottom of your passport page." 

I'm from USA and I had to type in 10 numbers and USA and it worked.
