how do I change usa-created phone number in thailand

[markaurit]

I created my paypal account in the USA (with a USA area code). Now Im in Thailand attempting to update some of my data and the system will not let me update my phone number - Ive tried various +66 combinations, and I keep getting an Invalid Format message.  If the system wont allow this, is there a way around it - for example would a new account allow the Thailand phone number? 

Thanks much for your time, it is appreciated

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

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
