Requirements to Create Etsy Account in Pakistan
Physical Address
If you have someone’s friends and family living in these countries which Etsy approves for selling then it will be easier for you to get an Etsy account.
You can also buy an address from someone but be aware form the fake address generator. You can register the company address from Registeredaddress.co.uk and gov.uk. These are the UK-based addresses.
If you generate a fake address then someday they will detect you and suspend your running account without any warning.
Phone Number
You can buy a virtual phone number or if you have relatives then get the number from them.
Bank Account
You can use the Payoneer account for payments using the Global payment receiving details. This will send the payments to your Payoneer account.

Does etsy require a physical bank account to be linked? If we connect paypal or wise do these accounts need to be in the name of the person whose details were used to create the etsy account?
Etsy does not require a physical bank account to be linked, but it does require a valid payment method to be on file. This can include a bank account, credit card, or debit card.
If you choose to connect PayPal or Wise as your payment method, it is recommended that the account is in the name of the person whose details were used to create the Etsy account. This is to ensure that there are no issues with payment processing or account verification.
If you are using a business account, it is important to make sure that the name on the account matches the name on your Etsy account. This will help to avoid any confusion or issues with payment processing.
Hi, i have LLC registered in USA with physical address and Virtual number. can i create ETSY account using these details, for bill i mostly use WISE statment.
Etsy requires sellers to have a valid physical address and phone number in the country where they are registered to sell. As long as your LLC is registered in the USA with a physical address and a valid phone number, you should be able to use these details to create an Etsy account.
it is important to note that Etsy may ask you to verify your identity, and they may require additional documentation to confirm your business details. It’s also important to make sure that your business is compliant with all relevant laws and regulations in the USA, including tax laws.
Regarding billing, as long as you have a valid payment method linked to your Etsy account, Yes you can use Wise statement, you should be able to use that to pay your Etsy fees.
If I am creating account using UK details, can I use VPS of Germany? Any credit card required as charge method?
Be careful if you are using another region’s VPS (Not Recommended).
Use Payoneer as receiving method.
Only foreign address is required for opening an Etsy account? or Foreign bank details is also mandatory?, and which payment method you recommend if i want to sell from Pakistan looking forward to your earliest reply
Use only Foreign Address for your ETSY account.
You can Payoneer receiving method.
hey I wanted to ask,
can I really add Payoneer as my receiving method?
what about the taxes? as I live in Pakistan and I would be using my relatives address and phone no so how would the taxes be payed etc? then how would payoneer be used to pay taxes?
also can i add my own ID card in etsy details?
You can use Wise or PayPal for receiving method. I personally do not recommend you use Payoneer for receiving payments.
Do not use your ID, Etsy will suspend your account.

CAN I OPEN ETSY STORE ON UAE INFO?
Yes! You can open Etsy store from UAE.
If we setup an etsy shop with address from outside pakistan. can we ship products from pakistan, or do we first ship products to that address and then they ship it from there?
Yes, you can ship products from Pakistan to a customer who has ordered from your Etsy shop, regardless of the address listed on your Etsy shop. When you set up an Etsy shop, you can list a location for your shop, but that is mainly for display purposes and does not necessarily have to be the location from which you ship your products.
On most ETSY pages, they do mention where the product will be shipped from. E.g I have a shop address in Europe, should we mention we are shipping from Europe?
According to Etsy doesn’t have a fixed shipping policy. Instead, it allows shop owners to set their own shipping policies, including what carriers they ship with and whether or not they offer expedited shipping options.
we buy virtual adress or num.but what about billing address and passport??
You have to create an Etsy account by using your family/friend’s address and you can run this account in Pakistan by VPS. The answer is: to find someone on the social platform to provide you with the details to create the account. You will get all the required details on rent from that person.
