Can I open a PayPal business account for my US LLC from Pakistan?

PayPal's country list, read 24 October 2026, groups the countries it serves by region; its Asia list doesn't include Pakistan, and its North America list includes the United States.^[1] Our Stripe and PayPal in Pakistan page compares the providers' lists.

For a registered business such as an LLC, PayPal's help article on business verification asks for the business's legal name, address, email, business type, industry category, country of incorporation and EIN. A trading name, phone number and website are optional or asked for only in certain cases.^[2]

• The account holder: legal name and home address, plus date of birth and SSN only if the account holder also owns part of the business.^[2]
• The executive contact: full name, date of birth, home address, and SSN or tax ID.^[2]
• Each owner of 25% or more: name, ownership percentage, date of birth, home address, and SSN or tax ID, with a signed Beneficial Owner Certification.^[2] In a one-owner LLC, that is you, at 100%.
• Without a US tax ID: PayPal asks an executive contact or owner with no US tax ID to have passport details ready: the country of issuance, passport number, and issue and expiry dates.^[2]

PayPal says the home addresses it asks for are not to be a PO box.^[2] For an owner living in Pakistan, that is your home address in Pakistan. PayPal reviews the application and decides whether to open the account.

The company also has a yearly US filing: Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120 for each year with money moving between you and the company, such as PayPal balances you transfer to yourself, due 15 April for a calendar year.^[4]

Our US LLC formation for Pakistan-resident owners files the articles in the state you choose, arranges the registered agent and prepares the EIN application, from $249 plus the state fee, EIN included, priced in US dollars and paid in PKR after you accept a written quote. Monthly US bookkeeping from $59 records each PayPal payout and transfer.
