Hello! Military spouse here... we just PCS’d to Spain and I am trying to update my phone number to my Spanish number and it won’t allow me. It keeps saying “invalid number”. I no longer have access to my US number and am afraid if I have an issue or have to get a text to confirm something that I will run into an issue.

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 before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.
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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
