Why Can't We Make Paypal Account In Pakistan Anymore? [Unsupported Countries]

no paypal in pakistan unsupported countries

I get asked so often, how to make a Paypal account in Pakistan, or from any other unsupported countries. That fact is, we can't!

If you're somehow associated to Internet and run your online business or just a standalone blog, having a Paypal account is as important as having a national Identity card.

Paypal being the leading online payment system, it's vital to have it in your tool kit to send or receive payments from/to your clients. Though unfortunately, Paypal is not available in many countries for some reasons which company doesn't share openly.

About 2 years back, I wrote a post on how one could get a Paypal account in Unsupported countries including Pakistan and that method actually worked! That post was read thousands of time and mentioned all around the web.

Why Can't We Make Paypal Account In Pakistan Anymore? [Unsupported Countries]

Back then, we could make use of fake mobile numbers and home address belong to the country of which we wished to make the account for. It was all seamless and on top of that, we used to withdraw the payments via third party Payoneer master card.

Now you might be thinking so what's the purpose of this very post? Well!, the very reason of this post is to explain in detail why exactly we can't make a Paypal account in Unsupported countries any more due to the recent security changes updated by Paypal.

I get emails and Facebook messages so frequently about this still, that how could we make a Paypal account?

Well sadly we can't unless we make it in a legit way. I'll get to that in a bit.

# Reasons Why We Can No Longer Create a Paypal Account In Unsupported Countries?

1- Won't Load Dashboard Without Proxy

Previously: Well, previously about 1-2 years back, we could login to Paypal account's dashboard (in Unsupported countries) which we made using other listed countries. It didn't ask for any verification.

Now: Though now, it detects that we're not for the country which is listed in the account, and thus is asks for mobile verification.

2- Can't Verify Mobile Number

Previously: We could have entered a fake US (or any other country that you create the account of) mobile number and the system accepted it.

Now: Now it would ask you to verify the mobile number that you entered. It sends a verification pin to that number that we have to reenter to the Paypal system.

Though we can do a work around to this, by using many online sites that provide the functionality to send and receive verification pins to world wide numbers.

3- Can't Connect Payoneer Debit Card

Previously: If you've gone through this process before, you'd know that we use to connect Payoneer debit card to withdraw the payments with in it, which later we could then use with any ATM locally that accepts Master cards.

Now: Well, Paypal has dropped the support of Payoneer as a whole. Sadly! Thus we can no longer withdraw Paypal payments. Though we can use any payments in our account online.

Hope this clarified any misconception or information gaps.

We hope that Paypal officially accepts the invitation of Pakistan's Government that was sent lately.
