Hey can anyone help me with that? If I can't link a US bank account can I still receive money on my paypal even if I don't have that bank account linked?

You can in most countries add a U.S bank account (not card) to your paypal account. This is because paypal is a U.S company and allows that option for U.S Paypal account holders working in other countries.

However if you don't have one that is NOT a virtual / digital bank account then you need to add a credit visa to allow receiving funds and the auto withdrawal of funds.

So mastercard won't work? And also, do I need a visa credit card or it can be debit?
