I was previously using True Money Wallet. But we switched from Non-O to DTV and they won’t let me use. Any other scan pay app recommendations? My husband a bank account, but they only allow 1 person on banking app.

My true money application only asked for my passport. Didn’t submit visa at all.

This is real life. It shows how DTV holders are well welcomed and treated. This won’t last long.

Anonymous participant 719 Banks can no longer open accounts for tourists. Perhaps True is going the same way?

If your husband opens another bank account for you with a different bank and your simcard is registered to his name, you should be able to have that separate banking app on your phone.

There is also tagthai and moretapay if you are ok with the fees.

Anonymous participant 643 I had it previously but it knocked me off, and is asking for supporting documents with non-o visa.

By one person per app you mean the app can be installed and opened only at one device at a time? Asking out of curiosity.

@Elías *******
Yep, even for shared accounts... only one registered person, the app only on one device, phone number has to be registered with the account owner. If you want to change your phone or tablet or whatever you use, you need to go to the bank. That's how it is, at least for Bangkok Bank.

My GF has Kasikorn and there it is the same. I wonder why Thai banksmaking this stuff so difficult. My Netherlands and other EU accounts I can change from one device to another device without having to visit a bank office like it seems always necessary in Thailand.

In Netherlands almost all bank offices are just gone, because nobody needs tem anymore.

I applied for true money when I already had my DTV visa. Sent a picture with the entry stamp and a picture of my visa (the one which got sent by mail by the embassy). Got full access to true money with that (full access for foreigners, can't buy insurance or get access to the financial area)

@Andy ******

How did the True Money app know you have a different visa now?

@Biff ******
they keep asking for documentation upon expiration of the previously submitted document. . If you don't provide, they downgrade the functionality

I recommend getting a Thai driver's license. I am on a DTV and use TrueMoney with no problem. Friend of mine was having the "provide documentation" problem, got a Thai DL, problem solved.

@Charles *******
