Harmony Mc you can use your passport and DTV visa and entry stamp to unlock the TrueMoney advanced features. It takes a few days for them to process it. Then you can do bank transfers and QR payments. You can load your account with money at True shops, 7-11 and many other places.

WHAT? You can not use your home bank account to transfer money to a Thai bank account f.e. to the account of your landlord to pay rent?

IT is only possible if you hold Thai bank accounts?

Not sure if I'm your Bro, but I can read, copy and paste:

" So I have no bank account . How do you pay rent ."

I did not even react about the question, how I pay rent should be irrelevant to his problems.

So what is your next comment about the subject?

Sorry, but I live in a real world, not in the dream world where you ask if the colour is black and the answers are Durian taste good.

I answer what is asked, not my day dreams.

Go into a Kasikorn bank with a foreign exchange, get a free pay & tour visa card and load money onto card.

The card can be used at any location in thailand and can pay using QR code for bolt or food ect just like a thai bank card without having an account

If you’re lucky and your landlord’bank is one of the 7 thai banks supported by Wise, then that’s your best option. Otherwise TrueMoney or cash.
