Creating PayPal account from another country

[Jarhead_Ua]

Good day!

I'm a resident of Russia, I have Russian citizenship, passport and bank account. But currently, I live in Ukraine. Am I allowed to create my paypal account from Ukraine but connect to it my Russian bank account?

Thanks!

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 are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.
