Why is TrueMoney blocking foreigner registrations with a DTV visa?

Sep 4, 2025

I have the DTV visa. I'm trying to open a TrueMoney account on my phone.

It seems that TrueMoney is blocking foreigner registrations. When you click "scan passport" it fails. But when you click "scan local Thai ID card" it works without issue.

Can anyone confirm this?

My passport worked recently and I got the basic level. I'm going to need a Thai driving license to unlock the rest of the features (bank transfers, etc.).

I had been trying and wouldn’t go through. But just did with my passport, took 24 hrs for approval.

Did you just scan your passport and DTV Visa to get the advanced level in the true money app?

I registered with passport. I'd keep trying as app can be finicky. If using VPN, try turning it off.

I did it last month, it could just be a temporary bug

I was able to use my passport, but I did it 2 or 3 month ago, maybe it changed.
