Opening Latvian PayPal from Sweden

[kanye]

Hello, I was thinking of opening a PayPal account based in Latvia, while operating it from Sweden, where I live. I currently have 2 swedish paypals, and want a third in another country that allows withdrawals to prepaid cards. Latvia is one of these countries. I was thinking that what I would need is a latvian ip adress, a latvian phone number, and adress and name from Latvia. I was thinking about the verification process, and card withdrawal. Is it necessary for me to send in documents and also add a bank account in order for me to withdraw to the card? I do not plan on withdrawing too much at a time, and I will wait a long time before I start withdrawing, I will take it slow. I just need some advice on how to do this the best way, please help me if you have any experience with Latvian accounts or similar. Thank you in advance.

You will need a solid IP solution, Latvian phone number. VBA is not required for it to work. But please keep in mind that withdrawal card requires documents to be presented and accepted by the bank to allow these withdrawals. The PayPal itself can be, however, unverified.

Opening a bank account in Latvia without being a resident is virtually impossible. They will not open it on: SEB, Swedbank, Danske, Norvik, PrivatBank...

I'd choose Poland or Estonia (LHV in Estonia, Deutsche Bank or another one I forgot the name in Poland)

With those you just need to arrive with your passport and success will be waiting.

Thank you for your response, have you experienced limitations due to not being verified on latvian paypals?

I was thinking of using a card to withdraw funds to, not using any bank account at all. Also what do you mean arrive with my passport?
