Appreciate all the answers in advance. I am an American living in Thailand. I will be moving to another country very soon so here are my questions. Will I be able to transfer all the information from my account that I created here in Thailand? Or I will need to close my account and withdraw all my funds before I leave? finally, can I add my US bank account to a PayPal account that is created outside the US?

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. 

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.
