My paypal account was registered while I was in Hungary (HU)

Now I have moved abroad, and wanted to update my phone number, even though my personal information has changed to the country I'm residing now I still cannot change the default country code when I'm trying to add new phone number of different country.

Hi yingtienlin,

 

PayPal is country-specific, meaning you won't have the option to change the country for an account that has already been created. If you're no longer residing in Hungary, it would be best to create a new account in the country you've recently moved to. Please note that you are unable to use the same email address on more than one PayPal account so you may have to use a new email or close out your Hungary account if you would like to use the same email.

 

 

I hope this information helps!
