Hello, 

I recently moved from Czech Republic to Germany, I added my new german address in the setting, my german phone number, I added Euro as currency (and removed dollar and czech crown) but when I try linking my german bank account, it says I can only link bank accounts that are in Czech currency. I see nowhere the option to change a country of residence, there is only nationality which cannot be changed. Any help how do I link my bank account? Thanks!

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. 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.
