Do you have two separate accounts? There is no need to post the same question twice - hopefully a mod will come along to help you.
By the way, Visakhapatnam is not in the United States - make sure your location is actually where you are.

Hi Guilherme,
Can you please complete the W-8BEN form under Settings> Tax Info, which purpose is to
confirm you're not a US taxpayer. You can use your own legal name as it appears in your passport or other official documents. Let us know if the issue persists. Thank you.

Hi Hyecinth,

Hi,

I just submitted a proposal to a client and Im worried if I cant get my payment because of may inactive Paypal status.
Thank you!

Hi Walter,
You must have a verified and active Paypal account as your withdrawal method. Have you checked your Paypal account if it's still active?
I also checked your account and it looks like you have not completed the W-8BEN information on your Upwork account. The Form W-8BEN is a form used to confirm you're not a U.S. taxpayer and that Upwork is not required to withhold taxes from your earnings.

Hi Chetan,
I checked and it looks like you haven't filed your Form W-8BEN. The Form W-8BEN is a form used to confirm you’re not a U.S. taxpayer and that Upwork is not required to withhold taxes from your earnings. Once you file your Form W-8BEN, the system will activate your eligibility to access funds immediately.
Thanks!

I have the same problem, Paypal is inactive, and I don't know how to active it
Nov 29, 2023 05:37:18 AM by Joanne P
Hi Francisco,
I want to confirm that your name mismatch error has been cleared. You'll now need to complete your W-8BEN Form. The W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E are U.S. tax forms for non-U.S. Persons. We and the IRS use them to determine whether you live in the U.S. and what taxes, if any, we need to collect from your earnings on Upwork. You must have this form on file before you can withdraw earnings from Upwork. You can find out more about this here.
