Creating a PayPal account from Bangladesh can be a bit tricky due to PayPal's current restrictions. As of my last update, PayPal does not offer full services in Bangladesh, meaning you cannot directly create an account that can send and receive payments.
However, there are a couple of potential workarounds or alternative approaches that people in Bangladesh sometimes explore. It's crucial to understand that these methods might violate PayPal's terms of service and could lead to account suspension. Proceed with extreme caution and at your own risk.
Are you ready to explore these potential (and potentially risky) avenues? Let's proceed with the understanding that this information is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation to violate any terms of service.
Potential (Risky) Workaround: Using a Foreign Address and Phone Number
This method involves attempting to create a PayPal account using the details of a country where PayPal offers full services. This is generally against PayPal's terms and can lead to serious consequences if discovered.
Step 1: Obtaining Foreign Details
This is the most challenging and ethically questionable part. You would theoretically need:
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.

Finding a Suitable Country
- Identify countries with full PayPal functionality: Research which countries have no restrictions on sending and receiving payments. Common examples often include the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and some European nations.
- Consider the implications: Using details from a country where you have no legitimate connection can be problematic and potentially illegal depending on the laws of that country.
Acquiring a Foreign Address
- This is a significant hurdle. You might theoretically need a genuine physical address in your chosen country.
- Possible (but risky) options some people explore (with no guarantee of success or legality):
- Asking a trusted friend or family member residing in that country.
- Using virtual mailbox services that provide a physical address (be aware that PayPal may flag these).
- Again, be extremely cautious about the legality and ethical implications.
Obtaining a Foreign Phone Number
- A working phone number from the chosen country is usually required for verification.
- Possible (but risky) options some people explore (with no guarantee of success or legality):
- Asking a trusted friend or family member residing in that country.
- Using services that provide temporary or virtual phone numbers from other countries (be aware that PayPal may flag these).
Step 2: Attempting to Create the PayPal Account
Once you theoretically have the foreign address and phone number, you can try to create a PayPal account.
Navigating to the PayPal Website
- Go to the official PayPal website of the country whose details you are using (e.g., paypal.com, paypal.co.uk, paypal.ca, etc.). Make sure you are on the correct country-specific site.
Signing Up
- Click on the "Sign Up" button.
- Choose the "Business Account" option. While a personal account might seem simpler, a business account might offer slightly more flexibility in some limited scenarios (though this is not guaranteed and still carries significant risks).
Filling in the Details
- Use the foreign name, address, and phone number you acquired. Be meticulous and ensure all information is consistent.
- You will likely need to provide an email address. You can use your existing Bangladeshi email address for this part.
Verification Process
- PayPal will likely send a verification email to the email address you provided. Ensure you can access this email and click the verification link.
- They will also likely try to verify the phone number. This is where having a working foreign phone number is crucial.
Step 3: Linking a Payment Method (Another Significant Hurdle)
Even if you manage to create an account using foreign details, you will eventually need to link a payment method.
Bank Account
- PayPal typically requires linking a bank account from the country where the account was created. Linking a Bangladeshi bank account to a foreign PayPal account is generally not possible.
- Theoretically, you would need a bank account in the country whose details you used.
Credit/Debit Card
- Similarly, PayPal usually prefers or requires linking a credit or debit card issued in the same country as the account. Linking a Bangladeshi credit/debit card might not work or could raise red flags.
- Theoretically, you would need a credit/debit card issued in the country whose details you used.
Step 4: Navigating Potential Issues and Limitations
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
If you somehow manage to create an account through these risky methods, you will likely face numerous limitations:
- Verification Issues: PayPal might ask for further verification documents (e.g., proof of address, ID), which you will likely not be able to provide legitimately.
- Transaction Limits: Your account might have very low transaction limits.
- Suspension: PayPal is very strict about its terms of service. If they detect that you have used false information or are operating from a restricted country, your account will likely be permanently suspended, and any funds in it could be frozen.
- Legal Implications: Depending on the country whose details you used, there could be legal ramifications for providing false information.
Important Considerations and Ethical Implications
- This method is highly discouraged due to the risks involved.
- It violates PayPal's terms of service.
- It could lead to permanent account suspension and loss of funds.
- It might have legal consequences.
- It is ethically questionable to misrepresent your location and personal information.
Alternative Solutions (More Legitimate)
While a direct Bangladeshi PayPal account isn't currently available for receiving payments, explore these more legitimate alternatives:
 |
- Payoneer: Payoneer offers services that allow you to receive international payments and withdraw them to your local bank account. It's a popular alternative for freelancers and businesses in Bangladesh.
- Skrill: Skrill is another online payment platform that is available in Bangladesh and allows for international transactions.
- Other Local Payment Gateways: Explore local payment gateways that might facilitate international transactions or have partnerships with international platforms.
- Requesting Direct Bank Transfers: For some transactions, you might be able to arrange direct bank transfers, although this can be less convenient and secure for both parties.
Conclusion
Creating a fully functional PayPal account from Bangladesh that can send and receive payments directly is not currently possible through legitimate means. The workarounds discussed above are risky, violate PayPal's terms, and are highly discouraged. It is strongly recommended to explore legitimate alternatives like Payoneer or Skrill for your international payment needs.
