Need to register Paypal outside of Russia, what are the pitfalls?

Question

PayPal

PayPal is needed, use case is as follows:
1) Receive transfers from Americans in USD.
2) It is possible occasionally to replenish it yourself through Payoneer.
From this account, no transfers to/from Russia are planned at all. Purely external transactions in dollars only.
I have 2 citizenships, but now I mostly stay in Russia. I plan to move to Thailand and do business from there. In this regard, the question arose: do I need to register with PayPal through a VPN?
If I just register from Russia, what are the chances that I will just be forced to assign a Russian account, with a commission in rubles, a commission for cross-border transfers (cross border fees) and similar problems?

Answer 1

• Not all country accounts allow you to accept incoming payments.
  
• Policies and withdrawal methods vary from country to country. But usually to a local bank account.
  
• I even remember that various commissions also depend on the account country
  
• When you go to paypal.com, the first thing he looks at is what country you are from by IP. See how to change the URL in the address bar. Yes, and the IP address will be written to the log during registration. I would advise you to register (ideally and continue to use) with the IP of the corresponding country. And preferably not from public / free proxy / vpn / tor nodes, but at least a private VPS server
  
• PayPal in its policies did not prohibit having several accounts, but only from the position of how many citizenships / residence permits - the same number of accounts.
  
• Most of all, I would be afraid of account verification, especially those related to the address. You must be ready, if necessary, to send a photo of an identity card / passport of the corresponding country, as well as a photo of a utility bill / bank statement in your name from a local bank
  

Answer 2

When registering, you can select a country, you will also need to verify your bank account and place of residence in Thailand.
