I was previously living in Bahrain when I created my Paypal account. I have since moved back to my home country the Philippines. How do I change the settings?

Have to open a PH PayPal account in order to enter PH based account info. Bahrain account cannot accept PH based info.

Hi @Icm61,

 

Welcome to the Community! 

 

PayPal is country-specific. The laws applicable to PayPal accounts do also differ by country so you can't change your address to a country that is different from the country you used when you opened your account.

 

If you're moving country, you’ll need to close your existing account and open a new account. If you maintain residences in 2 countries, you can have 2 PayPal accounts as long as only one is a Business account.

 

I hope this helps!
