Paypal is country specific so  you have to open a paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country. HOWEVER the option to add a local bank account is not available in every country. 

You can however in some countries add a U.S bank account (not card) to your paypal account. This is because paypal is a U.S company.
If you have that option then it should show in your paypal wallet.

Thanks for the answer, but it doesnt help me at all. What do you mean by "you have to open an account in the country you reside in"?

I don't have u.s. accounts in u.s. banks to add so i can only add one in a georgian bank, but paypal doesnt even have customer support to check what the problem is, because they are so lame.

Thank you @kernowlass for your assistance on this thread. We greatly appreciate the expertise you lend to our Forum.

Hello @wolf009, welcome back! I'm sorry that reply may have been confusing, I'd be happy to expand further. Since you're only allowed to open a PayPal account in the country you currently reside, you're only able to complete the actions that are allowed in that country. In Georgia, it looks like you're unable to add a local bank, but you are able to add a U.S. bank account. However, Here are some Help Center articles I hope can guide you through your PayPal account:

 

How do I link a debit or credit card to my account?

How do I verify my PayPal account?
What payment methods can I use with PayPal?
How do I receive money through PayPal

My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause,
