True money is great for enabling prompt pay with DTV. They only require a Thai drivers license. I just got mine activated today.

edit: I had read some conflicting reports of using the DTV stamp in the passport, so I used my Passport bio page + Thai drivers license. Unlocked Advanced level = prompt pay, 50k balance and 500k per month topup.

You can get the Advanced account by uploading both the most event DTV entry stamp AND the DTV printed PDF. I did it myself.

if the top-up system wouldnt be that bad i would probably use it more often. hope they will add a credit card top up anytime….

That’s my biggest issue too. But it’s better than the alternative so I’m not complaining.

Moreta Pay has a more convenient top-up but no personal PromptPay.

I linked my non-Thai card with the TrueMoney app this week. The money balance can't be topped up with the card, but even without balance or low balance, the payments now will get thru with the credit card. The only downfall I've experienced is that if trying to do, payments of less than 200 baht get declined at

****

. But it's easy to change with one click from pay with the card to pay with the "cash" balance.

I've just had a look and I've linked my credit card to be able to "Pay" so if there is a shop that doesn't accept a credit card but they accept TrueMoney you can use it and charge it to your credit card. I might use it a little more.

yes, it worked for me. The only downfall is that somehow the

system knows you're using a card (even if it's trhu the TrueMoney app) so it won't approve transactions under 200 baht if using that method).

there are a few things to consider; if you have a Thai bank then you can do it in Thai (800kthb in the bank 2months before) if you have no Thai bank you need to get it in your homecountry (90day non imm visa) when you get to Thailand you can extened it for 1 year

There are two levels on the card basic and advanced. Advanced needs more verification to the know Your Customer Level (KYC) level, but gives you more features like Prompt Pay, higher transaction levels and abilty to link your bank or card.

I chose the option of Non Immigrant Visa. The app asked me to upload to different things. For one, I took a photo of my latest entry stamp (that says DTV on it and has a 180 days mark) on my passport and for the second I took a photo of my DTV printed PDF.
