You don't need an American bank account to have a PayPal account.  I used to work in banking but with the recent additions to the Patriot Act in screening foreign accounts, it got so complicated that I don't remember.  You might try an online account like ING Direct or Citibank.  You would be given a routing number and account number from the US and everything would be calculated in US dollars.  I've been using both banks for a long time and am very happy with the online convenience.

He can go to  the American Embassy in the country where he is at and they will have him sign a paper and it will be sent to a bank in that country..  I did this about 5 months ago.

Your best bet is to open an account in Europe, with one of the online banks. PayPal recognizes European accounts as well as US accounts.\n\nYou won't be able to obtain a US bank account without either a Social Security number, or a TIN from the IRS.\n\nBut, if you have a friend in the USA who can open an account for you, that would be the simplest way. Send him/her $20 to open an account.

You can go to Bk of america and try. take your passport with you, then you can open a savings + checking a/c both with a debit card with visa logo, (that's what i have a few years ago) that acts like a visa check card that you can use it as debit card (with password input) and credit card (directly debit from your a/c without a password input), but remind that they have a maintanence fee if your balances below certain amount.\n\nYou dont need an US passport, you just use your own passport issued from your country.

Yes, more or less.  Ask for a wire transfer at your bank and be sure to have the account number of the bank in the UK.

no...if it's the same bank they won't let you open one, and if you go to another bank they will search for other accounts in your name, and the status of them. Frozen accounts and accounts in the neg are red flagged. No bank will let you open an account if you have another account that's frozen.

Go to any bank and apply. You'll be surprised.\n\nGood luck

You say you are an EU resident. Does this mean that you reside outside of the United Kindgom? If so, I would imagine you'll find it pretty difficult to open a UK bank account. Most financial institutions in the UK will require that your perminent abode is in the United Kingdom and you will have to provide evidence thereof. Generally, residence outside of the United Kingdom, whether in the European Union or elsewhere, even if you are a British citizen, automatically means you cannot open a bank account at a UK bank or building society.\nYou could open an offshore account in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man over the internet. Nationwide Building Society offers such a service:

yes, you need to go to an international bank or one that deals in foreign currency exchange ( you may even find a place at a Turkish airport).

Go to the bank that you have a checking account with.

Bank Account in what country?

Use proper English if you want people to help understand you. IF you don't give details, how do you expect someone to help you. I bet you are one of those who claim to have a large bank account frozen so you can transfer the money into a open account in the US to rob someone. Old trick. Give it up. They are not that many stupid people here.
