Paypal account business UK for non resident

Hello,

I have a question about a Paypal business account.

Now that I'm living in Egypt, I have an online e-commerce business LTD company in UK, and I'd like to use Paypal for payment processing, so I need a Paypal merchant or business account.

My company LTD  has an address and a bank account in the UK, so I'm wondering if Paypal allows a business account for my UK LTD even though I am not a UK resident. Can convert my personnel account in Egypt to a business account or create one with my UK company LTD?

Best regards

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.

Thank you for your reply.
So I understand that it is possible to have a business account in Egypt with the information of the UK LTD (address, telephone number, bank accounts) but as a company director, I add my personal information in Egypt (ID, date of birth, etc.).
Do I have the right to manage my business company's account even if I live in Egypt?

Thank you.

You can't add another countries phone / address / cards or bank accounts to a country specific paypal account as I have already told you.
