TLDR : Answer Summary
Tourists cannot register for TrueMoney as it is only available for Thai citizens. However, they can purchase a TrueMoney slip (a paper version with a reference number) at 7/11. Alternatively, tourists may consider using Wise for accessing payment solutions in Thailand.

One option is to register with Wise, as they have a Thai virtual card and also a plastic card.

Use my reference id to win a free conversion.

I know foreigners without work permit can register, but I don't know if there are any special requirements regarding visa maybe.

Also not sure if only the automated process is enough : when they made the rules more strict, a video call confirmation was needed. Maybe they have replaced the video call confirmation with a completely automated process which doesn't really work ?

Nick MuayPlam No, I had problems after making a photo of my passport and the automatic detection after. I tried it with a iphone & android. One german and one russian passport. Nothing worked. Maybe it was a bug at this time, but it was impossible to do.
