TrueMoney with DTV??? How are DTV people upgrading to the advanced plan? It looks like they only allow supporting documents by non-immigrant and student visas holders for the advanced plan. The basic plan does not allow “scan to pay”, so it’s essentially useless.

Hi friends, I am trying to submit my DTV documents to unlock my features on TrueMoney but when submitting my visa they ask my for workplace in Thailand, obviously since it is a DTV visa we aren't allowed to be working on Thailand. What do you do in this case?

Thank you for all the help 🙏

Hello. Can I sign up to TrueMoney while being in Thailand on a DTV visa? I want to get YouTube Premium at the reduced Thai price and TrueMoney is one of YouTube’s payment options. Would love to have a proper account set up but multiple attemps in the past did not work.

Has anybody managed to top up their Truemoney account with a foreign card?

If so how did you do it? 🤪

Bangkok Bank just closed my savings account because it is DTV. Tried SCB and Krunsgsti but they both said they do not take DTV as well. Any recommendations? I am currently using TrueMoney to pay bills.

Payment Options (w/o Thai Bank account)

This comes up a lot in the comments. Please do add or correct, but this info is correct based upon my own personal experience:

TagThai Pay&Tour

- Prepaid credit card

- Can only be loaded at (I think any) Kasikorn Exchange kiosk. (I did in Samui.) Contrary to some comments I've seen, I was able to do with THB, did not have to actually exchange currency.

- Cannot pay Personal accounts with QR code, so that's most small restaurants and shops out.

TrueMoney

- Top up by cash at any 7-11, Lotus, and various pay points.

- Some people have completed the additional verification by uploading a copy of DTV visa and entry stamp under the work permit section of documents. That then allows payment to personal QR codes.

- It's also handy for paying Electricity and Water. (Keeps the history.)

- I have not been able to top-up by credit card since additional verification, but others claim this is possible.

DeepPocket

- CAN pay personal QR code

Load by credit/debit card, cash at BigC or Lotus.

- Pricier fees than the other two.

- (Was recommended to me by a friend who's an expert in payments, so seems to have solid backers, but I'm not personally endorsing this or anything else.)

* Moreta Pay

- Can connect to US bank, do SEPA transfer, or UK Faster Payments, or credit/debit

- No personal QR codes

- Works in other Asian countries

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?

There has been a few posts regarding TrueMoney wallet app/service. Here is my positive experience. I already have been using it with a family members ID, so I decided to apply for my own. Firstly you apply through the app. They allow you to apply for the basic level. It was simple Passport BIO. Face ID, phone no and your details. It took 24 hours and I got a sms saying I had been accepted.

You can then apply for the advanced level. You now are asked for work permit (I put retired) Non O visa ext stamp. Yellow book, or pink card or Thai driving licence. I think its only one of these but as soon as i put my yellow book in it said we will review your documents blaa blaa, 24 hours it was approved

I only use this app for 7/11 because I have bank accounts (not frozen at the mo) debit and credit cards. So this is to avoid all the Thai coins you end up with. So cant say about the other facilities.

Also I found a FB TrueMoney account and messaged them. They were really quick and answered my questions.

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.

Super inconvenient issue I’m experiencing now is that with my Thai bank closed down, I’m not able to scan to pay for anything. So the worst pickle this is getting me into is trying to exit car parks! Because a LOT of them / nearly all of them at the shops have no option to pay cash or card 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 is there some type of way around this that anyone’s come across yet? Thank you 🙏
