DTV holders can no longer open a full TrueMoney account, unless they have a Thai driving license or own a condo, existing full accounts are not affected
Answer summary
DTV visa holders are now unable to open a full TrueMoney account unless they possess a Thai driving license or own a condominium. Existing full accounts are unaffected by this change.

Simon Adams FYI— Always go by what is actually printed, detailed in your Passport, as a « British Overseas Citizen » has a specific meaning and classification under British (UK) law

Dca Dca I would have been, but I didn't take that option as I was also entitled to a full British Citizen passport. BNO passports are no longer recognised by either Hong Kong or China anyway. I use my Permanent Hong Kong ID to enter and leave Hong Kong now, which is so much simpler to use. You just have to show a QR code on your phone.

Dca Dca Right. I used to have a British Dependent Territories Citizen (BDTC) passport when I lived in Hong Kong. It expired on June 30th 1997 when Britain handled Hong Kong over to China.

AtrustworthyJaguar I tried to register on the new THIM App, doing okay photographed passport , ok then a photo for facial recognition lined up in the oval target ok, then requested turn face to the left and take photo, how can I know if I'm still in the camera target? Got my daughter to help and man the camera, 4 or 5 tries no success ! Got the asshole with it and gave up WTF!

What are them dumb heads playing at ? Even at Airport immigration desk you only look at camera head on, no side profile,

complete bollocks!

Remember it’s completely free, so if you’re asked to pay a fee it’s a scam site!

If you’re on the TDAC official website, the UK is listed.

Dave Johnson i think your on a scam website dont continue.

"When filling out your Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), the drop-down menu for your country of origin (Country/Territory where you boarded) will list United Kingdom. "England" is typically not listed separately from the UK on official Thai immigration forms.You should select United Kingdom (UK) if your journey originated there.However, travelers in your situation generally approach this in one of two ways:The Origin Country: Select United Kingdom and use the details for the flight segment departing from the UK."

Why not use the new page called THIM. make sure add Thai immigration in your search

BTW, Dave had received the actual advice he required and didn’t need any further input MATE! Certainly not the speculative drivel you provided. Wrong on the sex tourism front too, cobber! No real surprise coming from the assumptions of a minger who couldn’t get a shag on a prescription!

Phil Beer Why waste time speculating rather than providing the solution, GBR? You could also explain that countries are not necessarily in the correct LATIN alphabetical order and require a bit of searching for.
