How to Open a Paypal Account in

Nigeria and as a Nigerian


Below is a step-by-step guide to open a Paypal account in Nigeria. This is through the backdoor
for you who really need paypal account for affiliate marketing purposes and other money
making online ventures.

I’ll advice you do your due diligence and be careful in applying the steps not to get your account
closed.

The requirements you need is an email address and a liberty reserve account funded with $10.
Paypal does not accept Nigerians, therefore you are advised to change your IP (Internet
Provider) address to a country Paypal accepts and that you want to use in registering with
Paypal.

How to change Your IP address

First of all, you need to check your IP address of your internet service provider by visiting
www.ip2location.com. If your IP address is in Nigeria, you need to change it to any of the
country that paypal accepts for example United Arab Emirates, China, Cyprus etc. Paypal
account holders from these countries are not required to add their bank account to Paypal.

You can get your desired IP address from the sites below:

Verifying Your Account
The next step is to verify your account. Follow the steps below to do just that.
● Go to www.virtual-cc.com. You will see 3 different cards at the page and click on the
‘Virtual CC Paypal Verification’. On the next page choose $7.50, and add 1 as the quantity
you want, including your email address and click on proceed.

the ‘Link and confirm my Debit or Credit card’ to add the Visa Virtual card and get verified.

After successfully adding your card to you account, you will be asked to provide a 4-digit
number.

form through the link with your card number and your email address. Check your email for the
notification within 10 to 20 minutes.

email address and click on send request. Next you will see as an example XXXX PAYPAL. The
