changing country and transferring the balance amount

[saeedmirza]

Hi,

I am moving abroad for good. My PayPal account has some balance, please advise how can I use the balance while I am resident in a different country than PayPal account country. "PayPal has blocked my account several times in the past when I tried to use my PayPal balance to pay someone while in a different country than my account country.

Please advise how can I resolve this issue,

Regards,

Saeed

Withdraw the balance BEFORE you move.

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 / and bank accounts 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.

What if I could not utilize or withdraw the funds from PayPal? 

Can I open a new account and transfer the amount into the new account ?
