i live in Malaysia under "special pass" visa and i live in rented apartment so its impassable for me to get utility bill with my name on it or bank statement with my name on it as am not allowed to open bank account here because of my visa type (that's the reason why i have paypal in the first place or else i would receive my payments directly to my bank account)
so what can i do now ? how can i get my money out ?

i don't know how PayPal expected the users to know all of that when i click on "select document" in the proof of address form it show only three options 
1-creaditcard statement
2-utility bill
3-bank or card statement
the process of using PayPal is getting harder and harder and much more complicated and much more relying on assuming users already have bank accounts while most of the users in my opinion only use it because they cant have bank account in the first place 
one last question i don't have or cant produce any of the documents you asked for in your last comment, however i can get proof of address from the embassy of my country here in Malaysia it will have my name and my address here in Malaysia will that be acceptable ? 
and thank you for your help and reply.
